Basic Printing Guidelines

Due to the vast quantities of various Inkjet Printers and related models, it is impossible to identify all the various configuration options. The following is provided as a guideline only. Please refer to your specific printers User Guide for the appropriate settings.

Most printers utilize a configuration option for the "Media Type" and a separate configuration for the "Print Quality".  The "Media Type" controls the amount of ink set down on the media. It DOES NOT control or affect the resolution.

The "Print Quality" controls the "Resolution" of the images printed.
