...in your printer options for print quality. 1) Quick Print (600dpi). 2) Normal (600Dpi) 3) Quality (1200Dpi. You also have options to set paper type such as Photo Paper, Transparencies, Card etc. Lexmark’s, own control panel also offer excellent features. From here you have access to current ink levels, printer status, Dos functions and how the printer operates. You can also clean the print heads from here too. Another excellent feature - which can be turned off if it annoys you - is the speech facility, whereby the control program tells you when a print job is starting, ending or when the paper has jammed or paper tray is empty.
