4.3 Configuring the Printer Drivers

Graphics

The "Graphics" tab has option settings that affect the quality of a printed output. Notice that there is a visual representation of the selected graphics mode. Clicking it will toggle both the radio button setting and the image display between the Raster and Vector selections.

Graphics Mode

Enables you to optimise graphic printing, increasing speed and quality. Options include: ¥ Raster

All graphics are sent to the printer as bitmap raster images (i.e. images composed of individual dots). Under this option, the printed output may appear to be a closer match to the screen image than the other mode, but printing is slower.

¥ Vector (default)

This mode enables images to be printed faster but not all graphic images can be printed under this mode. If the printed graphic images do not appear the same way as they did on your screen, select Raster and reprint your graphic.

Halftone

Halftone refers to a type of pattern that is applied to the printed image. By using a combination of black dots, these patterns produce a grey appearance on the printed image. This Halftone feature is designed to process images (e.g. photographs) but not computer generated art (e.g. clip art). The appearance of the printed image will be differed by the Halftone settings. Note the different settings available for the different drivers.

For Windows 95/98/Me:

¥ Device (default)

Image objects will be rendered by default halftoning attributes.

¥ Line Art

Provides solid lines and sharp contrasts between shaded areas and is used for images with intricate lines.
