[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.
|
|
[Error Diffusion]:
|
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. This setting is optimal for printing files containing text and very fine lines or CAD data with sharpness and clarity.
