Selecting print features
The printer provides TekColor color corrections that you can select to
customize the look of your prints. In addition to the 300 dpi print-quality
mode, the Phaser 340 with extended features provides a user selectable
600 x 300 dpi print quality mode. There are several ways to select print
features:
■ Through a printer driver. Print selections made using a supported
printer driver override the settings on the printer’s front panel.
Refer to the Phaser 340 Drivers and Utilities Printing Reference for
information on using printer drivers.
■ From the printer’s front panel. Settings you make on the front panel are
only used when printing from a non-supported driver. Refer to the
instructions included in this chapter.
■ By sending a PostScript utility file to the printer. Printer settings
downloaded to the printer’s front panel are only used when
printing from a non-supported driver. Refer to the Phaser 340
Drivers and Utilities Printing Reference for information on sending
utility files to the printer.
■ From your World Wide Web browser. Refer to the PhaserShare Status
Software User Manual for more information.
Print quality modes
The Phaser 340 provides a 300 dpi resolution print quality mode.
600 x 300 dpi resolution is optionally available.
300 dpi The default print-quality setting. This is the fastest mode for full
color printing on paper and transparencies. In this mode, the printer
operates at 4 ppm (pages-per-minute) for paper and 2 ppm for
transparencies.
600 x 300 dpi Available with the Phaser 340 extended features option. The
extended features also include 24 Mbytes of memory and a total of 69 fonts.
600 x 300 dpi resolution produces better looking text and the smoothest
color blends on paper. In this mode, the printer operates at 2 ppm. This
print mode is not available for transparency printing.
