Print quality modes

Using the printer drivers provided with your printer, you can select from three print quality modes:

Fast Color Produces the fastest full-color prints. This print-quality mode is not available for transparency printing. Transparency prints made with this setting are printed using the Standard print-quality mode instead.

Standard The default print-quality setting for full-color printing. Select this print-quality mode for the fastest printing of transparencies.

Enhanced (600 x 300) Available with the Phaser 380 printerÕs Extended Features option. Used for PANTONE Color matching (set TekColor Correction to None). For paper printing, select this print-quality mode for the best text quality and the smoothest color blends. For transparency printing, select this print-quality mode to produce transparencies with the most vibrant colors, the smoothest color gradations and color sweeps, and the highest durability.

Print speed

Print speeds listed in the following table are based on the time it takes the printer to make a single print. Printing of Tabloid Maximum-size transparency is supported only from the manual feed slot.
