Chapter 5 Changing Print Defaults
Setting Colors and Print Quality
The Color/Print quality tab allows you to make customized color and mode choices for documents, photographs, and graphics. The default setting is document, which provides the best settings for printing text or mixed text and graphics. For sharper photographs, choose photographs; for sharper graphics, or to match a specific color, choose graphics. It also allows you to choose to print the color black either from a combination of colors or from a black color cartridge. You can customize settings further, with Color Adjustment and Density Adjustment. Each time you make a custom Color Mode setting scheme, you can name it, save it, and use it again.
After you choose your settings on the Color/Print quality tab, click OK.
