Preparing
for
a Direct Print Operation
CAUTION:
l
Be sure to change SW2-8 to on. This changes the signal
direction of the scanner’s parallel interface, which must
be set to unidirectional for the direct print function.
l
After a direct print, be sure to set SW2-8 back to off.
Otherwise the scanner does not work properly with the
computer.
l
Do not use the LQ-2500 or LQ-2550 printer setting when
using an 80 column printer. You can use the LQ-860
setting with a 136 column printer, but the printable size
is limited.
Setting the scanning functions
You can either select halftoning mode A or disable halftoning. To
choose halftoning mode A, set SW2-1 on and SW2-2 off. Enable
halftoning if your original image has continuous tones, as with
photographs. Disable halftoning if the image does not have
continuous tones, as with line art.
Note:
Halftoning modes B and C are not effective in direct print.
For better output results, use DIP switches SW2-3 to SW2-7 to set
the gamma correction and color correction settings to suit your
printer type. See Chapter 2 for more information about gamma and
color correction.
