Choosing printing parameters 5
This chapter discusses setting printing parameters, including the print
mode and advanced print mode options such as firing rate and nesting.
Your printer offers several print modes which let you make tradeoffs
between speed and quality.
The print mode you use depends on various factors, such as your
drawing application, whether you’re printing in color or monochrome,
and what type of media you’re using. Each print mode directly affects
the printing speed and quality of the image you print, so you should
understand the differences.
Each of the print modes attempts to strike a balance between speed
and quality, with Normal being the mode developed to provide quality
images at a reasonable printing speed for most users. Whenever you
choose a print mode other than Normal, you will choose to emphasize
either speed or quality.
CAD printing modes (HP-GL and HP-GL/2 only)
Draft and Normal modes are suited for line drawings and drawings
with light solid fills, the types of images created by most CAD users.
These modes are not recommended for printing images, because
bleeding may occur in areas of heavy fills or dark shading when
printed with these modes.

. Normal mode is the factory default and offers good
quality without sacrificing speed.
Graphics print modes
There are three graphics print modes: three pass draft, three pass
enhanced, and four pass enhanced. The modes vary between models;
refer to the tables that follow to determine the modes available on your
printer.
