Select print quality
The printer has various print-quality options because best-quality printing requires some loss of speed,
while fast printing implies some reduction in print quality.
Therefore, the standard print-quality selector is a slider that allows you to choose between quality and
speed.
Alternatively, you can select from the custom options: Best, Normal, and Fast. There are also two
supplementary custom options that may have an effect on print quality: Maximum detail and More
passes. See
High-quality printing on page 48

In the Windows driver dialog, the rendering resolution for your job is displayed in the
Custom Print Quality Options dialog box. In the Mac OS Print dialog, it is displayed in the
