Use the following options to adjust the print quality for your
specific printing projects in Windows.
1.
From the Properties window, click on the Print Quality
tab.
2.
In the Resolution area of the tab
(A)
, you can select the
dpi (dots per inch) of your graphic output. You can use
either 300 dpi, 600 dpi, 1200 dpi (Fast Printing), and in
some drivers, 1200 dpi (Best Quality). The higher dpi
number will result in a sharper graphic image, but may
increase your print time slightly. The default setting is
1200 dpi (Fast Printing).
3.
In the Document Type area
(B)
, you can further enhance
your 1200 dpi printouts. Select Photographic if your
print job contains photo or bitmap images. The default
selection is Text. This feature is grayed out when values
other than 1200 dpi (fast printing) are selected.
4.
In the Darkness area
(C)
, you can adjust the toner
density to maximize print quality.
5.
In the Toner Usage area
(D)
, you can conserve toner by
selecting Save Toner—a good choice for printing out
preliminary drafts.
6.
Click OK and you will see the name in the Overlays list.
