CHAPTER 4 CONTROL PANEL Display Message RESOLUTION=600 RESOLUTION=300 Resolution Set the resolution to 600 dpi. (Factory setting) Set the resolution to 300 dpi. Select the print resolution in this mode according to the resolution required for your print jobs as shown below: Print Jobs 300 dpi 600 dpi Resolution Setting in Resolution Mode 300 dpi 600 dpi For optimum print quality For mixing 300 dpi bitmaps with 600 dpi Not recommended For optimum print quality  Note Even if you set the resolution to 600 dpi in this mode, the printer may not be able to print large files at 600 dpi because of insufficient memory. However, it automatically decreases the resolution to 300 dpi to print them. While the printer is printing, the display prompts "01 PR300 ... ." If the printer cannot print files even at 300 dpi, the "MEMORY FULL" error occurs. See "TROUBLESHOOTING" in Chapter 7. This automatic resolution decrease function works in the BR-Script 2 mode and other emulation modes with the page protection on. See also "PAGE PROTECTION" in this chapter. When you want to print without decreasing the resolution, you must expand the memory capacity of the printer to 6-Mbytes or more. Expand the memory capacity referring to the table below. It shows the minimum size of memory required in the BR-Script 2 mode.
