Configuration of the printer
Draft/ LQ printing
A high print quality is not always necessary. For instance, if you want to make a test printout which is also quite large, then draft printing is an alternative. Fewer ink jets are used during the draft printing mode; this reduces the print quality and increases the print speed. In addition, ink consumption is reduced in this mode.
The setting is only effective if you use the PRN command at
the DOS level. If you are printing via the installed printer driver, e.g. under Windows, the print quality is controlled by the settings of the printer driver.
