Choosing print mode options
Your printer offers four quality modes, three of them pre-defined, which let you make
tradeoffs between speed and quality.
The quality mode you use depends on various factors, such as your software applica-
tion, whether you’re printing in color or monochrome, and the type of media you’re
using. Each quality mode directly affects the printing speed and quality of the image
you print, so you should understand the differences.
Each of the quality modes attempts to strike a balance between speed and quality.
The default quality mode, Photo, provides quality images at a reasonable printing
speed for most users. Whenever you choose a print mode other than Photo, you will
choose to emphasize either speed or quality.
The quality modes include the following print mode options:
• Color mode
• DPI
• Print passes
• Carriage speed
• Print direction
Selecting the User quality mode will allow you to set each of the print mode options
individually. Quality modes are summarized in the table which follows. It is not
necessary to set all the parameters, unless you want to create a user-defined print
mode. Note: Make sure you choose the cartridge set before selecting a
quality mode.
