Graphics
This selection specifies how graphics are sent to the printer. The options available are:
Vector This option allows you to send graphics to the printer as a mixture of vector and raster images. Vector graphics typically print more quickly than rasterized graphics.
Vector graphics are composed of distinct shapes (lines, circles, ellipses, and boxes) that can be scaled and edited independently. Vector graphics do not become distorted when they are resized.
Raster This option sends graphics to the printer as bitmap images. Bitmaps typically print more slowly than vector images and become distorted when scaled.
Resolution
The resolution setting affects the amount of detail that is reproduced on graphic images. Graphics resolution is measured in dots per inch (dpi). Therefore, a 600 dpi setting renders images using 600 dots (pixels) per every inch of the image.
The image quality of printed documents typically increases with higher resolution (dpi) and bits per pixel settings, but it often results in slower print speed and increased toner consumption.
600 dpi The images will be printed using 600 x 600 dots per inch (dpi). Use this option if quality is more important than speed.
300 dpi The images will be printed using 300 x 300 dots per inch (dpi). Use this option for text only jobs or where speed is more important than quality.
