Using Image Smoothing

Image Smoothing blends the adjacent colors in an image so that color transitions are less noticeable. Image smoothing is typically used when the image being printed is at a lower resolution than the printer's output resolution. For example, printing an image downloaded from the World-Wide Web at 72 dpi using the printer's Standard print-quality mode (300 dpi). Images printed using Image Smoothing will appear with less sharp detail but with smoother color transitions. Image Smoothing is not recommended for printing 300-dpi or 600-dpi images.

There are two ways of selecting Image Smoothing:

In a supported printer driver, check the Image Smoothing box on.
Download a PostScript utility file to the printer to turn on Image Smoothing. Use the following utility files for your computer type:

Macintosh file name PC file name

Image Smoothing On
Image Smoothing Off

SMOOTHON.PS
SMOOTHOFF.PS

Refer to the Phaser 350 On-line Reference Guide for instructions on downloading utility files.
