Quality
For highest-quality printing, consider these suggestions:
m In the Print dialog box, set quality to Best.
m In the Print Options dialog box, try the Scatter halftoning method. Many
people prefer its smoother look. (Changing the halftoning method affects
only documents that contain grays.)
m Try a bond paper. The recommended coated or glossy paper,
transparencies, or back-print film produce superior results for special
needs.
Speed
For faster printing, try these suggestions:
m In the Print dialog box, set quality to Draft. (The Draft option is available
only if you have indicated that you’re using plain paper in the Print dialog
box.)
m In the Print Options dialog box, set the halftoning method to Pattern.
(Changing the halftoning method affects only documents that contain
grays.)
m Tu rn off background printing, as described in “Printing While You Use
Your Computer” in Chapter 2. Though turning off background printing
speeds up printing slightly, it makes you wait for the document to finish
printing before you can resume using the computer.
Cost
To reduce the amount of ink you use, and so save on cost, try these
suggestions:
m Select Draft quality in the Print dialog box whenever possible.
m Don’t unplug the printer unnecessarily or connect it to a power strip that
you turn off occasionally. When you plug the printer in again, it uses ink as
it cleans the print head.
