Epson 500 Printer User Manual


 
MicroWeave Mode
MicroWeave reduces the possibility of banding, the light
horizontal lines that can mar an image. When you turn on
MicroWeave, the printer produces superior output because
graphics data is reordered and printed in fine increments. It
slows the print speed but is recommended for printing color
and grayscale images. Because it does not improve the print
quality for text and line art, turn it off to print these kinds of
images faster.
Note:
MicroWeave is switched on automatically whenever the
Super - 720 dpi
printing mode is selected and is switched off
automatically for
Economy
printing.
High Speed Mode
When you turn on High Speed mode, the printer uses
bidirectional printing, reducing the time it takes to print an
image. Bidirectional printing is fast, but for the best quality,
turn off High Speed mode.
Note:
If the vertical lines appear misaligned when you print using High
Speed mode, calibrate the printer as described in Chapter 6.
Finest Detail
When you select the
Super - 720 dpi
printing mode, you can
turn on Finest Detail mode to print text, solid graphics, and line
art with very sharp edges. It may take considerably longer to
print using this mode and it will increase your Macintosh
memory requirements. Additionally, you may not be able to
print some larger images and some patterns may not print
correctly. Before you select
Finest Detail
, make sure that
Super - 720 dpi
is the selected printing mode. If you
experience problems printing in this mode, turn it off or add
more memory.
