Quality

The quality selection lets you choose the print resolution. As print quality and speed are related, the higher the quality, the longer it will take to print the document. The quality selections that are available will vary depending on the media type you choose.
• 
Highest
Up to 1200 × 6000 dpi. (See Resolution in Specifications in the User’s Guide.) Use for printing precise images such as photographs. This is the highest resolution and slowest speed.
•

Up to 1200 × 2400 dpi. Use for printing photographs. Since the print data is much larger than a normal document, the processing time, data transfer time and print time will be longer.
