Selecting a Print Mode The bidirectional print modes (printing occurs in both direc- tions) enable you to select the combination of print speed and quality required. Speed or throughput depends on the mode selected, and by other factors such as the width of the image.

The unidirectional (left-only) modes are available for rigid cut- sheet printing only. Unidirectional printing eliminates the bidi- rectional misalignment that occurs when printing on media that is not perfectly flat.
