Manage and configure printer drivers

Print-quality settings affect how light or dark the print is on the page and the style in which the graphics are printed. You can also use the print-quality settings to optimize the print quality for a specific media type.

You can change the settings in the product properties to accommodate the types of jobs that you are printing. The following settings are available, depending on the printer driver that you are using:

●600 dpi

●Custom: This setting produces the same resolution as the default setting, but you can change the scale patterns.

NOTE: Changing the resolution can change the formatting of your text.

Temporarily change print-quality settings

To change the print-quality settings only for the current software program, open the properties through the Print Setup menu in the program that you are using to print.
