5Printing: Beyond the Basics

Image Smoothing

Image Smoothing is selected from the printer’s front panel (in the PrinterDefaultsmenu) as well as in supported printer drivers. Image Smoothing blends adjacent colors in an image so that color transitions are less noticeable.

This feature is typically used when the image being printed is at a lower resolution than the printer’s output resolution. For example, printing an image downloaded from the World Wide Web at 72 dpi using the printer’s 600 or 1200 dpi. Images printed using Image Smoothing appear with less sharp detail but with smoother color transitions. Image Smoothing does not affect images downloaded at more than half the printer’s resolution. Due to extra internal printer calculations, printing may take longer with Image Smoothing on.

Hints

▼If you do not have a supported printer driver, you can use the PostScript utility files shipped on the printer’s CD-ROM or diskettes. Refer to the on-line manual on the printer’s CD-ROM for instructions on downloading utility files.

Automatic tray switching

When your printer has a Lower Tray Assembly installed, you can easily run large jobs without having to replace media often.

1.For automatic tray switching to work properly, make sure that you have three of the same media trays.

2.Load the same type and size media (for example, A4 paper) in three identical media trays.

3.Install a tray in each of the trays slots in the printer.

4.Select the media tray by type (PAPER, TRANSPARENCY, or LEGAL) in either the printer’s front panel or the printer driver.
