Choosing Print Resolution

Page 80 highlights

Note Note How I/O Buffering Improves Performance When you send a job to the printer, you can get back to work more quickly after you press Print from a software program because your printer automatically reserves a portion of its memory, an I/O buffer, to hold jobs in progress. In most cases, it is to your advantage to let the printer automatically reserve memory for I/O buffering. See "Memory Configuration Menu" in Chapter 4 for information about changing this setting. For each MByte of memory you add to your printer, 100 KBytes will automatically be reserved to hold print jobs in progress. This feature, called I/O Buffering, and works like a print spooler. The printer's memory holds the job while it prints, freeing up your system so you can get back to work. When you change the IO BUFFER setting, all downloaded resources are deleted, unless they are stored on the optional PostScript Disk Accessory. Choosing Print Resolution You can select 300 or 600 dpi (dots per inch) from the RESOLUTION item in the Job Menu (see Chapter 4). Your printer offers greatly improved print quality at 600 dpi. To take best advantage of 600-dpi printing, use software printer drivers designed for your printer. When you change the RESOLUTION setting, all downloaded resources are deleted, unless they are stored on the optional PostScript Disk Accessory. Special Tasks 5-11

How I/O Buffering Improves Performance
When you send a job to the printer, you can get back to work more quickly
after you press Print from a software program because your printer
automatically reserves a portion of its memory, an I/O buffer, to hold jobs in
progress.
In most cases, it is to your advantage to let the printer automatically
reserve memory for I/O buffering. See “Memory Configuration Menu” in
Chapter 4 for information about changing this setting.
For each MByte of memory you add to your printer, 100 KBytes will
automatically be reserved to hold print jobs in progress. This feature, called
I/O Buffering, and works like a print spooler. The printer’s memory holds
the job while it prints, freeing up your system so you can get back to work.
Note
When you change the
IO BUFFER
setting, all downloaded resources are
deleted, unless they are stored on the optional PostScript Disk Accessory.
Choosing Print Resolution
You can select 300 or 600 dpi (dots per inch) from the
RESOLUTION
item in
the Job Menu (see Chapter 4). Your printer offers greatly improved print
quality at 600 dpi. To take best advantage of 600-dpi printing, use software
printer drivers designed for your printer.
Note
When you change the
RESOLUTION
setting, all downloaded resources are
deleted, unless they are stored on the optional PostScript Disk Accessory.
