Quality

The quality selection allows you to choose the print resolution you

want for your document. Print quality and speed are related. The

higher the quality the longer it will take to print the document. The

quality selections that are available will vary depending on the media

type you select.

■Photo: Up to 4800 x 1200 optimized dpi. (See Resolution on

page S-6 in the User’s Guide.) Use this mode to print precise

images such as photographs. This is the highest resolution and

slowest speed.

■S.Fine (Super Fine):1200 x 1200 dpi. Use this mode to print

precise text and photographs. Since the print data is much larger

than normal mode, the processing time, data transfer time and

print time will be longer.

■Fine: 600 x 600 dpi. Better print quality than Normal mode and

faster print speed than Super Fine.

■Normal: 600 x 300 dpi. Good print quality with typical print speed.

■Fast: 600 x 150 dpi. The fastest print mode and the lowest ink

consumption. Use this mode to print large volume documents or

a document for proofing.

The print quality of black ink depends on the type of glossy

paper you are using. Black ink is used when you select Glossy

Paper (4 colour). If the glossy paper you are using repels the

black ink, select Glossy Paper (3 colour), which simulates black

ink by combining the three ink colours.
