Using Macintosh Applications
When operating in a Macintosh computing environment, specific
printing tasks may vary depending upon the application. For
example, selections for the number of copies to print, the page
orientation, and the media size options are located under different
menus or dialog boxes. You need to check the application
documentation to determine where to find and how to use these
options.
You can make these selections through the printer’s front panel using
the procedure in “Selecting Menu Options” in chapter 5. However, in
most cases application selections override those made through the
front panel. If there is a question or if the job does not print as
expected, select the desired setting through both the application and
the front panel.
Some, but not all, Macintosh applications have resolution options for
the printer. Since many factors affect resolution selection, this task is
covered separately in the following section.
Note: See appendix C, “Application Notes,” for details on specific
applications.
Selecting Resolutions
Your Accel-a-Writer 812 printer offers 1200 x 1200 dpi and 600 x
600 dpi (dots per inch) resolution printing.
Note: Occasionally, a large, complex file or one with heavy
graphics requires more than the standard memory to print.
This also varies depending on the chosen resolution.
Memory upgrades can provide the extra space required. See
“RAM Upgrades” in chapter 9 for details.
When you select resolutions, remember that other factors affect the
quality of your output. For example, the type and condition of the
media, the capability of your application, and the level of toner and
its distribution can affect output.
