Optimizing Print QualityYour printer provides you with a number of w a ys to print your
documents so that they are presented with the highest possible
quality. The two features discussed here are EPSON’s Resolution
Improvement Technology (RITech) and Enhanced MicroGray
(Enh. MG).
Resolution Improvement Technology
Resolution Improvement Technology (RITech) is EPSON’s
original printer technology that improves the appearance of
printed lines, text and graphics.
The factory default setting for RITech is on. The RI Tech give s the
best quality text and graphics for nearly all purposes. You may
not need to turn the sett ing of f. How ever , if yo u are pr inti ng gra y
shading or screen patterns, change th e setting to Off.
To change the RITech setting, follow these steps:
Using the printer driver:
Check or uncheck the RITech check box on the Panel menu in the
printer driver to turn RITech on or off.
Using the SelecType :
Follow the instructions in the section on using SelecType. This
setting is made in the Config menu (page 5-21).
Adjusting Print Density
Do not change the print density unless it is necessary. Changing
the print density affects all text and graphics. Check the new
density setting by printing several pages with various kinds of
text and graphics.
If your printouts are too light or too dark, adjust the p rint dens ity
with the printer driver or the SelecType mode.
