Choosing print mode options
Your printer offers several print modes which let you make tradeoffs between
speed and quality.
The print mode you use depends on various factors, such as your software
application, whether you're printing in color or monochrome, and the type of
media you're using. Each print mode directly affects the printing speed and
quality of the image you print, so you should understand the differences.
Each of the print modes attempts to strike a balance between speed and quality,
with the quality mode providing quality images at a reasonable printing speed
for most users. Whenever you choose a print mode other than Normal, you will
choose to emphasize either speed or quality.
Print mode options include the following:
•
Color mode
•
Print quality
•
Print passes
•
Carriage speed
•
Print direction
Default print mode settings are summarized in the table which follows. It is not
necessary to set all the parameters, unless you want to create a user-defined
print mode.
