CHAPTER 4 CONTROL PANEL

The following figures show jagged print with the high resolution control
set to “OFF” on the left and clear and crisp print with the control set to
“MEDIUM” on the right.
HRC = OFF HRC = MEDIUM
Fig. 4-5 High Resolution Control
The high resolution control has been factory set to “MEDIUM.” The
“LIGHT” or “DARK” setting might be better depending on the selected
print density. Choose the best setting for clear and crisp printouts.
To check the printout with the high resolution control, perform the test
print with the TEST switch. For operation, see “TEST Switch.”
When you perform “TEST PRINT,” the printer prints the test pattern
including a block of lines. If the high resolution control is “OFF,” the lines
in the test pattern are unsmoothed or stepped as shown in the left figure
below. The pattern will be smoother if the high resolution control is set to
LIGHT, MEDIUM, or DARK. Choose an HRC setting and perform the
test print so that stepped lines become unnoticeable.
HRC = OFF HRC = MEDIUM
