Canon QY8-1360-000 manual Print Modes, 1 NUMBER OF PASSES VS NUMBER OF OPERATIONAL HEAD NOZZLES

Part 4: Technical Reference BJC-7100

2.2 Print Modes

The printer selects the carriage operation and bubblejet drive method on the basis of the media and print quality selected by the driver, and the print data that is received from the host PC. This enables the printer to achieve optimum print quality, free of smears and fragmentation.

To improve the quality of images, the printer is designed to print the data using multiple passes of the carriage.

By increasing the number of passes for the data as a whole, the time required for the ink for each piece of data to dry is split up, making ink smears less likely.

The printer selects the optimum print mode according to the type of BJ cartridge(s) installed, the ink system being used, and the various settings, such as print media and print quality, selected using the printer driver.
