● In the driver dialog (Mac OS X Print dialog): select Custom instead of Standard print-quality options, then check the Maximum Detail box. ● On the Embedded Web Server's Submit Job page: select Basic settings > Print quality > Custom. Set Quality level to Best, and Maximum detail to On. ● Using the front panel: press , then Default Printing configuration > Print quality > Maximum detail. NOTE: The Maximum Detail option results in slower printing with photo papers, but it does not increase the amount of ink used. If you have printhead problems If your printheads have an excessive number of clogged nozzles (which may cause banding or white streaks on your prints), print quality can be improved by selecting the More Passes option. ● In the driver dialog (Mac OS X Print dialog): select custom instead of standard print-quality options, then check the More Passes box. ● On the Embedded Web Server's Submit Job page: select Basic settings > Print quality > Custom. Set Quality level to Best, and More passes to Yes. NOTE: The More Passes option results in slower printing, but it does not increase the amount of ink used. TIP: Instead of using this option, consider using the Image Diagnostics Print to identify the printhead or printheads that are causing the problem, and then clean or replace them. See The Image Diagnostics Print on page 195. Print in gray shades You can convert all colors in your image to shades of gray: see Printing in grayscale on page 104. Print with no margins Printing with no margins (to the edges of the paper) is known as borderless printing. This can be done only on rolls of photo paper. In order to be sure of leaving no margins, the printer prints slightly past the edges of the paper. Any ink deposited outside the paper is absorbed by the sponge situated in the platen. You can request printing with no margins in the following ways: ● In the Windows driver dialog: select the Paper/Quality tab and press the Margins/Layout button. Then select Borderless. ● In the Mac OS X Page Setup dialog: select a paper size name that includes the words "no margins". Then, in the Print dialog, select Margins/Layout > Borderless. NOTE: If your application offers no Page Setup dialog, please use the Print dialog. ● In the Mac OS X PostScript Page Setup dialog: select a paper size name that includes the words "no margins". Then, in the Print dialog, select Margins/Layout > Borderless. NOTE: If your application offers no Page Setup dialog, please use the Print dialog. ● On the Embedded Web Server's Submit Job page: select Advanced settings > Paper > Layout/Margins > Borderless. When you select Borderless, you must also select one of the following Image Enlargement options: 78 Chapter 8 Printing ENWW
