The Print Quality option determines at which resolution the document will be printed. Draft will provide a quick print at screen (72 dpi) resolution. Since rasterization is done at a lower resolution, the printer will begin printing faster. The 300 x 300 selection will give much better results but will require more time for rasterization and more memory. The 600 x 300 selection is the highest quality output available but will increase the time needed for rasterization and printing. The higher resolution print modes will also require more free space available on your hard disk drive (the startup volume).

The Enlarge/reduce option alters the size of the printed document between the integers of 25% and 400% (a setting of 100% indicates the document will be printed at actual size).

An on line Help feature is also available in the Page Setup dialog box. This feature will assist you in understanding your options from the various PrimeraPro dialog boxes.

Expert Options

Mirrored

When the Mirrored box is checked, the FARGO driver will print the image in a reversed format, making the printed image appear as if you were viewing it in a mirror. This is useful when printing images for thermal or T-shirt transfers.
