ing the printer’s front panel setting), for the current document, using the
TonerMiser pop-up menu in the LaserWriter 8 Print Options dialog box (or the

Smoothing

The Elite XL incorporates a smoothing feature. Smoothing reduces the jagged

smoothing feature will only work when printing at 600 or 800 dpi.

panel. The Smoothing option is located in the Print Control menu. Smoothing
option settings are Enabled and Disabled; Disabled is the default.

ing the printer’s front panel setting), for the current document, using the
Smoothing pop-up menu in the LaserWriter 8 Print Options dialog box (or the
Elite XL Options panel if you are printing with QuickDraw GX).

Smoothing options are Printer’s default (i.e., the current Smoothing setting
selected in the printer’s front panel), Enabled (causes smoothing to be applied
regardless of how Smoothing and TonerMiser are set in the front panel), and
Disabled (causes Smoothing and TonerMiser to be disabled regardless of how
they are set in the front panel). Printer’s default is the default.

Windows software interface. Smoothing can be switched on and off (overriding
the printer’s front panel setting), for the current document, using the Smoothing
buttons in the Windows printing Options dialog box.
