Select Slow Drying Paper when printing with the type of plain paper on which the ink dries very slowly. This setting may cause some slight blurring of the text.

Quality

The quality selection allows you to choose the print resolution you want for your document. Print quality and speed are related. The higher the quality, the longer it will take to print the document. The quality selections that are available will vary depending on the media type you select.

Highest: Up to 1200 x 6000 dpi. (See

■

Specifications of the User’s Guide.) Use this mode to print precise images such as photographs. This is the highest resolution and slowest speed.

Photo: 1200 x 2400 dpi. This mode is suitable for printing

■

photographs. Since the print data is much larger than normal mode, the processing time, data transfer time and print time will be longer.

Click the Setting button to change the Date, Time, the Position and the Font. To include a background with the Date and Time, select Opaque. When Opaque is selected, you can click on the Color button to change the color of the Date and Time background.

The Date and Time in the selection box shows the format that will be printed. The actual Date and Time printed on your document is automatically retrieved from the settings of your computer.
