If you want to print JPEG or TIFF files, you can select halftone printing modes to optimize images.
[Resolution]:
You can print files with the contours of text data and other fine lines clearly reproduced. This mode is optimal for printing data containing a lot of text or fine lines.
[Gradation]:
This mode enables you to print in even finer detail than the Resolution mode. You may however experience a slight drop in the integrity of the image quality. You can adjust this setting to smoothly print shapes and graphs using gradation.
[High Resolution]:
This mode enables you to print in even finer detail than [Resolution]. You may however experience a slight drop in the integrity of the image quality. This setting is optimal for printing files containing text and very fine lines or CAD data with sharpness and clarity.

IMPORTANT
For information on the modes which cannot be set in combination with this mode, see "Combination of Functions Chart."
