Graphics Resolution
Select the printing resolution you want. The higher the resolution
you select, the more detailed your printout will be; however,
increasing the resolution slows printing. If you are using
Windows 3.1, this option is only available from the Control Panel.
Dithering You can leave this option set to Fine, which is the default setting,
or select another dithering pattern depending on the kind of
printout you want.
Intensity/ Intensity
Control
Move the slider to make your printout lighter or darker.
Print quality Select a print quality option from the Print quality list.
If you turn on Hi-speed, you will enter bi-directional printing
mode and printing speed will increase. Turning Hi-speed off will
return the printer to uni-directional printing mode. Printing speed
will decrease, but printing precision will improve. Printing with
the default settings uses the settings stored in the printer.
