    Making Changes to Printer Settings
    Making the print quality settings
    You can change the print quality of printouts through settings in 
    the printer driver. With the printer driver, you can make the print 
    settings by choosing from a li st of predefined settings, or 
    customizing the settings.
    Choosing the print quality by using the Automatic setting
    You can change the print quality of printouts to favor speed or 
    detail. There are five quality modes for the color printing mode 
    and three for the black-and-white printing mode.
    When  Automatic  is selected on the  Basic Settings tab, the printer 
    driver takes care of all detailed settings according to the color 
    setting you select. Print quality and color are the only settings you 
    have to make. You can change other settings such as paper size 
    or orientation in most applications.
