Phaser 560 Color Laser Printer
 
Image Smoothing
 
Image Smoothing
 
 is selected from the printer’s front panel (in the 
 
Printer 
Defaults
 
 menu) as well as in supported printer drivers.  
 
Image 
Smoothing
 
 blends adjacent colors in an image so that color transitions are 
less noticeable.  
This feature is typically used when the image being printed is at a lower 
resolution than the printer’s output resolution.  For example, printing an 
image downloaded from the World Wide Web at 72 dpi using the printer’s 
600 or 1200 dpi.  Images printed using 
 
Image Smoothing
 
 appear with less 
sharp detail but with smoother color transitions.  
 
Image Smoothing
 
 does 
not affect images downloaded at more than half the printer’s resolution.  
Due to extra internal printer calculations, printing may take longer with 
 
Image Smoothing
 
 on.

Hints
 
 
If you do not have a supported printer driver, you can use the 
PostScript utility files shipped on the printer’s CD-ROM or 
diskettes.  Refer to the on-line manual on the printer’s CD-ROM 
for instructions on downloading utility files.
 
Automatic tray switching
 
When your printer has a Lower Tray Assembly installed, you can easily run 
large jobs without having to replace media often.

have three of the same media trays.

 media (for example, A4 paper) in three 
identical media trays.

Install a tray in each of the trays slots in the printer.
