Print modes
The printer has three print-quality modes. In addition to the print-quality
modes, you can customize your prints using the TekColor color corrections
and Finepoint Sharpening. Refer to the Phaser 300X Drivers and Utilities
Printing Reference for details on selecting the print quality modes and color
correction.
Print-quality modes
Standard The default setting. This is the fastest mode for full color printing.
This selection takes about 1 minute to print on A- or A4-size paper
(American Letter or Metric Letter), depending on the size and complexity of
the image.
Enhanced This mode takes about 2 minutes to print on A-size paper and
smoothes banding in solid colors.
Premium This mode produces the smoothest solid color shades. It takes
about 4 minutes to print on A-size paper.
Finepoint Sharpening
Finepoint Sharpening, available with 14 Mbytes of memory, uses a special
halftoning technique to produce sharper images with crisp edges and
smooth color detail. It provides sharpening and higher detail rendering for
non-rotated, rectangular scanned image or bitmapped data only.
There are two ways of selecting Finepoint Sharpening:
■ Through a printer driver — check the Finepoint Sharpening
box on.
■ By downloading the PostScript utility file. Refer to the
Phaser 300X Drivers and Utilities Printing Reference for details on
downloading utility files.
