Setting imaging options

The LaserWriter Utility allows you to specify some printer imaging options,

including the control of FinePrint and PhotoGrade options and the setting of

screen frequency and angle.

FinePrint provides smoother, less jagged printing of text characters. You can

set the printer’s default setting to have FinePrint on or off. Users can change

this setting from the print Properties dialog box. To print high-quality images,

turn off FinePrint.

PhotoGrade enhances the printed look of images, such as scanned

photographs, by providing more shades of gray and better printed clarity and

contrast. You can set the printer’s default to have PhotoGrade turned on or off.

The following table lists the memory requirements and supported paper sizes

for duplex printing and PhotoGrade:

Memory Duplex Printing PhotoGrade Use both features

at once?

16 MB Letter, A4, B4, legal Letter, A4, B5 No

20 MB Letter, A3, A4, B4, Up to ledger and A3 Yes; up to letter

legal, ledger and A4

24 MB Letter, A3, A4, B4, Up to Japan Standard Yes; up to legal

legal, ledger and Japan Larger

32 MB Letter, A3, A4, B4, All supported paper Yes; up to B4

legal, ledger sizes

48 MB Letter, A3, A4, B4, All supported paper Yes; all supported

legal, ledger sizes paper sizes

You can also change the way the images print by increasing or decreasing the

number of gray levels used to reproduce them. More levels of gray produce a

more natural-looking photographic quality. However, increasing the number

of grays also decreases the resolution of the image. For each level of gray, a

unique pattern of laser pulses is required to produce a printed dot. More gray

levels require more variations in such patterns, which in turn require the

printer to use larger, more noticeable dots. You can experiment with various

settings to find the balance that suits your needs.
