Adjusting Print 6 Quality Figure 6-2 Checking the Effect of a REt Setting You can check the effect of a REt setting by printing a self test at 600-dpi and examining the Resolution Enhancement block on the printout (see example of Menu Map printout, Figure 3-2, letter L). The Resolution Enhancement block does not appear on menu map printouts printed at 300 dpi. Figure 6-2 illustrates three REt settings. Set REt so that the REt block is a uniform gray with no vertical lines (B), or with vertical lines tending toward dark (C), rather than light (A). Harmonizing Print Density and REt Settings It is suggested that both print density and REt settings be adjusted at the same time since they affect each other. To harmonize print density and REt settings: 1 Make sure printer resolution is set to 600 dpi. 2 Select a print density setting. (A default setting of 3 usually produces a uniform gray REt block on the self test printout.) 3 Print a self test and examine the Resolution Enhancement block. 4 Set REt to produce a block as close to a uniform gray as possible (B), or with vertical lines tending toward dark (C), rather than light (A).

Checking the Effect of a REt Setting
You can check the effect of a REt setting by printing a self test at
600-dpi and examining the Resolution Enhancement block on the
printout (see example of Menu Map printout, Figure 3-2, letter
L
). The
Resolution Enhancement block does not appear on menu map printouts
printed at 300 dpi.
Figure 6-2 illustrates three REt settings.
Set REt so that the REt block is
a uniform gray with no vertical lines (
B
), or with vertical lines tending
toward dark (
C
), rather than light (
A
).
Harmonizing Print Density and REt Settings
It is suggested that both print density and REt settings be adjusted at the
same time since they affect each other.
To harmonize print density and REt settings:
1
Make sure printer resolution is set to 600 dpi.
2
Select a print density setting. (A default setting of 3 usually produces a
uniform gray REt block on the self test printout.)
3
Print a self test and examine the Resolution Enhancement block.
4
Set REt to produce a block as close to a uniform gray as possible (
B
), or
with vertical lines tending toward dark (
C
), rather than light (
A
).
