Print Quality Menu

The Print Quality Menu allows you to change the physical characteristics of the printed page. All choices are saved until the current print job has ended, except for Print Density, which changes after a few pages. See Chapter 6, “Print Quality,” for more information.

Table 4-10 presents the messages that appear when you select each of the menu items.
