Image Smoothing
Image Smoothing is selected from the printer’s front panel (in the
Printer Defaults menu) as well as in supported printer drivers. Image
Smoothing
blends adjacent colors in an image so that color transitions are
less noticeable.
This feature is typically used when the image being printed is at a lower
resolution than the printer’s output resolution. For example, printing an
image downloaded from the World Wide Web at 72 dpi using the printer’s
600 or 1200 dpi. Images printed using
Image Smoothing appear with less
sharp detail but with smoother color transitions.
Image Smoothing does
not affect images downloaded at more than half the printer’s resolution.
Due to extra internal printer calculations, printing may take longer with
Image Smoothing on.

identical media trays.

Select the media tray by type ( PAPER , TRANSPARENCY , or LEGAL ) in
either the printer’s front panel or the printer driver.
