3. If you do not see the dialog box shown in step 2, click the
Main tab.
4. Make sure the Mode option is set to
Automatic. The
printer software determines the best settings according to
the Media Type and Ink settings you make. This is the
easiest way to get good printing results for all kinds of
documents, on all types of paper.
5. Choose the
Media Type you want to print on from the
following list (you may need to scroll through the list). If
you are not sure which setting to select for your media, refer
to the table on page 3-2.
◗ Plain paper
◗ 360 dpi Ink Jet Paper
◗ Photo Quality Ink Jet Paper
◗ Photo Quality Glossy Paper
◗ Photo Quality Glossy Film
◗ Ink Jet Transparencies
The type of media you choose determines the print quality
or resolution you can use.
6. Choose
Color or Black ink. If you are printing black text, a
draft, or if you want colors to print as varying shades of
gray, select
Black for faster printing.
7. Set the slider to
Quality or Speed. This lets you choose
between the highest resolution or the fastest printing for the
media you’re using. (The slider is not available for certain
media types.)
Once you’ve changed these basic settings as needed, check
the Current Settings box on the bottom of the menu to see
if the other settings are correct for your document. If you
need to adjust them, use Advanced mode as described in
Chapter 2.
For printing at the highest
resolution (SuperFine
quality at 1440 dpi), you
need to use one of the
photo quality media. For
the best printing at any
resolution, always use
EPSON media.
