Once you’ve checked your printer driver settings and changed
them if necessary, you are ready to print with continuous paper
as described in Chapter 2, or with single sheets as described in
Chapter 3.

❏

Resolution

Click the printing resolution you want.
The higher the resolution you select,
the more detailed your printout will
be; however, increasing the resolution
slows printing.

❏

Dithering

You can leave this option set to

Fine

,

which is the default setting, or select
another dithering pattern depending
on the kind of printout you want. The
display to the left of the dithering
options shows the effect of your
setting.

❏

Intensity

Move the slider to make your printout
lighter or darker.
