Print modes

The printer has three print-quality modes. In addition to the print-quality modes, you can customize your prints using the TekColor color corrections and Finepoint Sharpening. Refer to the Phaser 300X Drivers and Utilities Printing Reference for details on selecting the print quality modes and color correction.

Print-quality modes

Standard The default setting. This is the fastest mode for full color printing. This selection takes about 1 minute to print on A- or A4-size paper (American Letter or Metric Letter), depending on the size and complexity of the image.

Enhanced This mode takes about 2 minutes to print on A-size paper and smoothes banding in solid colors.

Premium This mode produces the smoothest solid color shades. It takes about 4 minutes to print on A-size paper.

Finepoint Sharpening

Finepoint Sharpening, available with 14 Mbytes of memory, uses a special halftoning technique to produce sharper images with crisp edges and smooth color detail. It provides sharpening and higher detail rendering for non-rotated, rectangular scanned image or bitmapped data only.

There are two ways of selecting Finepoint Sharpening:

■Through a printer driver — check the Finepoint Sharpening box on.

■By downloading the PostScript utility file. Refer to the

Phaser 300X Drivers and Utilities Printing Reference for details on downloading utility files.
