Choosing print mode options
Print mode options let you choose from three predefined print modes, or create user settings in which you can
make custom settings for the following:
• Color mode • Quality mode • DPI • Carriage speed
• Pass correction • Print passes • Print direction
Color mode
Color mode refers to whether you are printing in color, grayscale or monochrome.
To choose the color mode
1 Press Setup Menu/Print Mode Menu/Color Mode.
2 Choose Color or Mono.
3 Press OK.
Quality mode
Your printer offers four predefined print quality modes which let you make tradeoffs between speed and quality.
The quality mode you use depends on various factors, such as your software application, 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,
Productivity, provides quality images at a reasonable printing speed for most users. Whenever you choose a print
mode other than Productivity, you will choose to emphasize either speed or quality.
