Media Type

You can choose between Photo Paper, Sticker (4x4) and Sticker (Single) in this item. If you use photo paper or postcard for printing, choose "Photo Paper". If you are printing images on stickers, please choose "Sticker (4x4)" or “Sticker (Single)”.

If you choose "Photo Paper" as the media, you can tile (see above) the image in 1, 4 or 16 on the paper, and the paper can be loaded either manually or automatically. However, if you choose "Sticker (4x4)" as the media, only "16" is applicable in the "Tile" option and you can only load the sticker manually.

Source

Select the paper source of the printer: Auto-Feed Cassette or Manual Feed. You can choose to load the paper automatically (from the paper cassette) or manually (from the manual paper feeding slot).

If "Sticker (4x4)” and “Sticker (Single)" is chosen in "Media type", only "Manual Feed" is applicable.

Resolution

You can choose either 300x300 dpi or 300x600 dpi as the printing resolution. Higher resolution creates image with better quality.

When “Resolution” is set to “300x600 dpi, the “Orientation” is unchangeable in Preview Window. For parallel port model, you will have to set the transfer mode to ECP to use the resolution of 300x600 dpi. For details, please see page 43 in Chapter 5.
