Imaging Mode (Advanced Option) The SuperScript 870 Windows Printer Driver can image the page in several different ways. The Imaging Mode area lets you fine tune your image quality and manage the trade-off between print quality and print speed. Note: Not all image files will print correctly in all modes. For best results, try each of the three manual modes. You may also try printing your image with Color smoothing (described in "Halftone Features") turned off. Automatically select best imaging mode Choose this option to have the driver select the imaging mode based on the program that is printing the document. This option will print most print jobs correctly. Manually select imaging mode • Choose Optimize for text and spreadsheets to ensure that print speed is fastest when printing documents that contain lots of horizontal and vertical lines, such as spreadsheets or tables and text. • Choose Optimize for graphics and photos to ensure that documents with graphic images print at their best quality. In this mode, Chapter 3: Installing the Software everything except for fonts is sent as graphic data. This reduces the amount of data sent to the printer for complex pages and may produce better output in some instances. • Choose Image entire page as graphic to ensure the best possible match between what you see on the screen and what is printed. When this option is selected, the entire page, including fonts, is sent as a single graphic image to the printer. This is slower, but in some cases may produce more accurate matching between printed output and the screen than the other modes. Halftone Features (Advanced Option) The SuperScript 870 Windows Printer Driver lets you fine tune the way colors in graphics images are converted to gray dot patterns. Choosing Optimize for laser print output improves the quality of graphics printing by using speciallyoptimized grayscale patterns to print graphics. Choosing this option gives you two further choices: • Fine, which provides smoother grays and fills. • Standard, which provides faster printing, but may result in courser grays. Choosing Optimize for photocopy reproduction uses a circular half-tone dot method for reproducing grays. This produces better final results if you will be photocopying your printed pages. 53
