Ways to control the print’s appearance

Note: Throughout this chapter there are references to “pens”. The pens referred to

are not the printer’s physical print cartridges, but “logical” pens used in a software

palette.

This chapter discusses the ways in which you can control the appearance of your

prints, in terms of:

Page size

Print orientation

The treatment of overlapping lines

Pen characteristics (widths and color/grayscale levels)

Rendering color drawings in monochrome

Overall print quality and resolution.

Apart from print quality, these controls are available using the Setup Sheet, an

example of which is shown on page 1–21. Print quality can be changed from the

front panel. This chapter explains the controls in the same order as in the list

above.

Changing the settings of these controls using the Setup Sheet is explained on page

1–19.

It is also possible to override these settings within many applications and many

software drivers. In some cases the printer is in control, in some cases the

application or software driver is in control, and in other cases the printer interacts

with the application or software driver. Whichever is the case in the circumstances

is made clear in this chapter.
