MicroWeave Mode
MicroWeave reduces the possibility of banding, the light horizontal lines that can mar an image. When you turn on MicroWeave, the printer produces superior output because graphics data is reordered and printed in fine increments. It slows the print speed but is recommended for printing color and grayscale images. Because it does not improve the print quality for text and line art, turn it off to print these kinds of images faster.
Note:
MicroWeave is switched on automatically whenever the Super - 720 dpi printing mode is selected and is switched off automatically for Economy printing.
High Speed Mode
When you turn on High Speed mode, the printer uses bidirectional printing, reducing the time it takes to print an image. Bidirectional printing is fast, but for the best quality, turn off High Speed mode.
Note:
If the vertical lines appear misaligned when you print using High Speed mode, calibrate the printer as described in Chapter 6.
Finest Detail
When you select the Super - 720 dpi printing mode, you can turn on Finest Detail mode to print text, solid graphics, and line art with very sharp edges. It may take considerably longer to print using this mode and it will increase your Macintosh memory requirements. Additionally, you may not be able to print some larger images and some patterns may not print correctly. Before you select Finest Detail, make sure that Super - 720 dpi is the selected printing mode. If you experience problems printing in this mode, turn it off or add more memory.
