Resolution

600 dpi (Standard)
600 dpi (High Quality) (also called 9600 x 600 dpi-class)
For printing draft prints and disposable documents, select 600 x 600 dpi
resolution. To generate photo-quality output with great detail and character
in fine lines and halftones, use the printer's default 600 dpi (High Quality)
contone resolution, also called 9600 x 600 dpi-class.
Note: To print at 600 dpi (High Quality) using the optional automatic
duplexer, a mimimum of 256 MB RAM is required.
Through a process called multi-bit or contone halftoning, the printer is able
to achieve very high levels of grayscale (color levels or shades). It
produces four bits or 16 levels of gray per pixel for sharper prints and
smoother gradients. In contrast, most printers produces one bit or two
levels per pixel.
The intensity of each cell produced
with the magicolor 2450 can be
controlled individually
The magicolor 2450's print quality is further enhanced by the printer's
Simitri polymer toner technology. See "Consumables," later in this
guide, for more information.
