Select your print mode as follows:
§
Use HQ mode for most of your printing needs. The printer
automatically prints in HQ mode unless you change the mode
with the
PRINT MODE button.
§
Use the smoothing mode when you are printing enlarged
characters with an MS-DOS application. When Smoothing is
enabled, the printer refines your output by polishing away the
jagged edges and ragged stair-stepping curves of the
characters. This results in sharp and crisp print at 720 x 360
dpi. The print speed is slower than HQ mode.
§
Use the HS mode when you are printing draft documents.
Your document will print faster but the print density will be
less than in HQ mode. HS mode uses half the amount of ink as
HQ mode.
Selecting reduction mode cancel Smoothing mode (if set).
Using the Reduction Modes
The printer supports two reduction modes for printing
spreadsheets and other wide documents on regular paper. In
reduction mode, the printer reduces the out put to two-
thirds or one-half of its full size.
Two-thirds Reduction Mode
In two-thirds reduction mode, the printer automatically sets
the print dimensions as follows:
Top Margin: 0.32-inch
Left margin: 0.35-inch
Print width (max): 7.8 inches
