Making the Most of the Printer Driver
Set Print Quality and Halftoning the way you want.
Print Quality To improve the print quality, drag the Print Quality slider
toward Fine. The resolution and print mode change
according to the setting of the slide bar. Using a higher
setting increases printing time.
Halftoning The colors and shapes of printouts are reproduced by the
ink dots ejected from the nozzles of the print heads.
Halftoning determines the color boundaries of intermediate
tones.
Dithering lines up ink dots of different colors according to
rules specified in the printer driver. Use this setting for
printing graphics or charts with clearly defined color
boundaries.
Diffusion randomly positions ink dots of different colors.
Use this setting for printing natural images such as
photographs.
Auto lets the printer driver automatically distinguish
between the types of image data and use the most
appropriate halftoning method.
Click OK.
The Set Print Quality dialog box closes.
