When speed is more important than quality and when a draft is good enough, use 180-dpi resolution.

Note:

Printing at lower resolutions conserves ink.

Media Type

Sets up the printer for plain paper, coated paper, or transparencies. Media Type can be one of the following:

Plain paper

Transparency

Coated Paper - 360 dpi

Coated Paper - 720 dpi

When 720-dpi resolution is selected, Coated Paper - 720 dpi is automatically selected. No other Media Type can be selected.

MicroWeave mode

Reduces the possibility of banding, the light horizontal lines that can mar an image.

MicroWeave is recommended for printing in color. In monochrome mode, MicroWeave slows the print speed. For this reason, you may not want to use it for monochrome printing.

MicroWeave is turned on automatically for 720 dpi. It is not available for 180 dpi.

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 highest quality, always turn off High-Speed Mode.
