2.2.1 Plain paper optimized printing mode (P-POP)
Only when you select plain paper (in other than draft mode) using the printer driver, the
The printer jets the ink optimizer onto the plain paper, followed by the normal ink to minimize smearing and improve the ink's water resistance.
2.2.2 Economy print mode (Draft mode)
Economy print mode is the fastest print mode of the
2.2.3 Standard mode
The standard mode is further divided into two modes, "speed priority mode" and "quality priority mode." The speed priority mode is suitable for printing text and simple illustrations, whereas the quality priority mode is suitable for printing originals that contain mainly images.
In the speed priority mode, the carriage makes a single pass per line at all times. This mode is basically unidirectional printing. When only black is being printed, the printing speed is improved by detecting parts of the original to be printed that do not contain print data on each horizontal line, and printing in both directions taking those lines as the threshold between unidirectional and
In the quality priority mode, the carriage makes three passes per line to print at higher quality. In this mode, the printing speed decreases, and photo ink cannot be used.
2.2.4 High quality and fine mode
Photo print mode uses the thinner inks of the Photo BJ cartridge
The photo inks are used in the
600 × 1200 dpi (8pass) printing process achieves high quality printing without the photo inks.
