MicroWeave reduces the possibility of banding, the light
horizontal lines that can mar an image. When you turn on
MicroWeave, the printer produces superior output because
graphics data is reordered and printed in fine increments. It
slows the print speed but is recommended for printing color
and grayscale images. Because it does not improve the print
quality for text and line art, turn it off to print these kinds of
images faster.
When you turn on High Speed mode, the printer uses
bidirectional printing, reducing the time it takes to print an
image. Bidirectional printing is fast, but for highest quality
always turn off High Speed mode.
Note:
If the vertical lines appear misaligned when you print with High
Speed mode on, calibrate the printer as described in Chapter 3.
Image Settings
The Image Settings options allow you to adjust a document’s
brightness, contrast, and color correction settings. Whenever
possible, use your software program to make these adjustments.
If you use the printer driver, it is best to let its
Automatic
Document Type setting select the appropriate image settings
for you. If your original image is of poor quality, however, you
can adjust the image settings to improve the printed output.
To help you decide on the best settings, a preview of a sample
image appears in the Image Settings dialog box. As you change
settings, the preview image is updated accordingly.
