Quality
Select the print quality. The print quality and speed are related. Higher quality takes a longer time to print.
Draft : 360 x 180 dpi. The fastest print mode (approximately two to four times faster than normal mode) and gives lower ink consumption. Use this mode to print large volume documents or a document for proofing.
Normal : 360 x 360 dpi. Recommended mode for ordinary printouts. Good print quality with comfortable printing speed.
Fine : 720 x 720 dpi for colour. Better print quality than normal and faster print speed than Super Fine.
Super Fine : 1440 x 720 dpi. Use this mode to print precise images such as photographs. Since the print data is much larger than normal mode, processing time, data transfer time, and printing time will be longer.
