Alternatively, you can specify the print quality setting from your software printer

driver. In this case, the driver’s setting is used for the next print. During the print,

the front-panel setting changes temporarily to that from the driver, and then

resumes its previous setting again.

The exact printing process used by the printer varies not only with your print

quality setting, but also with your specification of the media type (see page 2–3).

Recommended combinations of print quality and media type are given in the table

on page 2–5.

Recommended media types for various applications are given in the table on page

2–6.
