Resolution
Select the printing resolution you want. The higher 
the resolution you select, the more detailed your 
printout will be; however, increasing the resolution 
slows printing.

You can leave this option set to Fine, which is the 
default setting, or select another dithering pattern 
depending on the kind of printout you want.

Control
Move the slider to make your printout lighter or 
darker.
Print  quality
Select a print quality option from the Print quality list.
If you turn on Hi-speed, you will enter bi-directional 
printing mode and printing speed will increase. 
Turning Hi-speed off will return the printer to uni-
directional printing mode. Printing speed will 
decrease, but printing precision will improve. 
Printing with the default settings uses the settings 
stored in the printer.
