Print Direction

Screening should be set to Stochastic. Stochastic Screening is a random dot

pattern that produces more tones and has more detail than fixed screen

rulings.

Select No unless you want to print two sided output. You must have the

Duplex Option.

Microweave is a printing method in which images are printed in finer incre-

ments to reduce the possibility of banding (white lines) and produce laser-like

images. Microweave should be set to On.

Print Direction can be set to Unidirectional or Bi-directional. Bi-directional,

or high speed, is faster and does not significantly decrease print quality.
