[24 BPP]

Takes longer to print than [1 BPP [Enhanced]], but prints higher quality.

[Resolution]

Sets the print resolution.

[Ink Saving]

Thins out the print data to save ink.

[Print as Negative Image]

Prints a negative image of the document by reversing the black-and-white values.

[Print as Mirror Image]

[Gradation]

Sets the gradation method. [High 2] uses finer gradations than [High 1] to smooth gradations.

[Line Control]

Improves reproduction of text and lines. [Resolution Priority] gives priority to resolution. [Gradation Priority] gives priority to gradation.

[Combined Image Processing]

Switches between printing with pseudo-raster processing and printing without any processing if raster processing, which is not supported by PS drivers, is specified from an application. Use this setting when you cannot obtain the expected print result.

[Compression Processing for Data Transfer]

Switches between giving priority to image quality and giving priority to speed when compressing and transferring image data.

[Image Refinement]

Sets whether to use smoothing processing, which adjusts the contours of text and diagrams to make them smoother. If you select [Printer Default], the settings of the device is used.

[Grayscale Conversion]

Specifies a method for converting color document data to grayscale.

[Use Driver Grayscale Conversion When B&W Printing]

Gives the driver grayscale conversion priority over the conversion of the application when black-and-white printing.

[Sharpen Text]

Prints white text and lines on a black background clearly.

[Increase Line Density]

Makes pale-colored thin lines and text easier to see. Set this when gray lines are interrupted.
