Printer options 3
You can define printer options through your application software or by choosing settings from the
printer's control panel. The following printer options described in this chapter:
• Initialize (return to printer default settings)
• Print mode
• Paper Options
• User Setup
Returning to the default settings
Pressing the Setup/User Setup/Init Settings buttons returns all printer options to the factory
defaults. All saved user settings are lost. The table on the next page shows the printer defaults.
Printing the settings
Pressing the Setup/User Setup/Print Settings buttons causes the printer to print a listing of its
current settings. Be sure to have paper loaded before you start.
Choosing print mode options
Your printer offers several print modes which let you make tradeoffs between speed and quality.
The print mode you use depends on various factors, such as your software application, whether
you’re printing in color or monochrome, and the type of media you’re using. Each print mode
directly affects the printing speed and quality of the image you print, so you should understand
the differences.
Each of the print modes attempts to strike a balance between speed and quality, with the quality
mode providing quality images at a reasonable printing speed for most users. Whenever you
choose a print mode other than Production, you will choose to emphasize either speed or quality.
Print mode options include the following:
• Color mode
• Print quality
• Print passes
• Carriage speed
• Print direction
• DPI mode
