Printer Settings

Best for Photos

mode is best used for photographic images

where accurate color reproduction is essential.  Images printed
in this mode will look lighter than those printed in Photo
mode.  Skin tones especially will look more natural in this
mode. 

NOTE: 

Exact color matching of the printed image to the screen may not be

possible since there are factors that affect this out of the drivers 
control. The surface of the media reacts with the ink in the cartridge
to produce the color. For this reason, when printing the same image 
to different types of media with different surfaces the printed output
can look entirely different.

Ink Saturation

This option controls the amount of ink used when printing an
image.  The default setting is 100%, which will provide the
most accurate color matching.  If the ink is not drying fast
enough or bleeding, you can decrease the Ink Saturation to
lessen the amount of ink that is applied to the media.

Cartridge Alignment 

Cartridge alignment will align the Color Ink Cartridge for 
bidirectional printing and calibrate the printer to each 
individual cartridge.  For best print quality it is recommended
that you align the cartridge.  However, cartridge alignment is
not required.  To align the cartridge, click on Cartridge
Alignment to reveal a Properties button.  Click this button to
start the alignment procedure.  You will be prompted to have
media of 3" (101.6mm) wide or larger.  If the loaded media
does not meet this requirement, see Section 2E for additional
instructions.

Clean/Change Cartridge & Check Ink Levels

Click this setting to reveal a Properties
button.  Click Properties and you will
see the color ink level as well as 
buttons allowing you to either clean 
or change your ink cartridge. If you
have printed an image you will see an
estimation of prints remaining of the
last label.
