Graphics settings
The following settings allow you to control the printing of
graphics:
Graphics Mode
Specifies whether images are sent to the printer as
HP-GL/2 graphics or as raster (bitmapped) graphics. The
default is HP-GL/2 graphics.
Printing images in HP-GL/2 mode is faster than printing in
raster mode. How ever, not all graphics can be printed in
HP-GL/2 mode. If you are having difficulty printing
graphics, change the Graphics Mode setting to Raster.
Graphics Quality
Specifies whether to use a lower resolution to print
graphics. The settings are High (default), Medium, and
Low. Note that Graphics Quality does not affect text.
The High setting prints graphic5 at 100% of the current
resolution setting. The Medium and Low settings print
graphics at 50% and 25% of the current resolution,
respectively.
For example, if the current resolution is 600 dpi, graphics
are printed a t 600 dpi with High, 300 dpi with Medium,
and 150 dpi with the Low setting. When the current
resolution is 300 dpi, you can print graphics at 300, 150,
and 75 dpi.
For highest quality printing, use the default High setting.
Use Medium or Low if you are having difficulty printing
complex graphics or if you want faster printing.
