Print quality modes
Using the front panel, the printer drivers provided with your printer, or PhaserLink software, you can select from these print quality modes:
Standard The default print-quality setting for full-color, full-coverage printing on paper produces the fastest full-color printing on paper: printing time is 12 minutes per page for ANSI E-size (34 x 44 in.), and its Metric equivalent.
Enhanced Printing time is 24 minutes per page for ANSI E-size (34 x 44 in. and its Metric equivalent) in full-color, full-coverage; provides smoother images with less banding.

Use Printer Setting

The press color corrections (SWOP, Euroscale, Commercial, and SNAP) can be customized with the PhaserMatch software that is included with the printer. For an overview of the PhaserMatch software, refer to PhaserMatch. For detailed information and instructions, refer to the PhaserMatch User Manual that was shipped with the printer.
You can view an approximate sample output of some color corrections at the bottom of the printer's startup page. Refer to Printing the startup page for more information.
Note: If your printer is networked and you have changed the front panel settings, make
sure that you tell other users on the network. Printer settings affect all prints made
with non-supported drivers.
