[Resolution]:	You can print files with the contours of text data and other fine lines clearly reproduced. This mode is optimal for printing data containing a lot of text or fine lines.
[Gradation]:	This mode enables you to print in even finer detail than the Resolution mode. You may however experience a slight drop in the integrity of the image quality. You can adjust this setting to smoothly print shapes and graphs using gradation.
[Error Diffusion]:	This mode enables you to print in even finer detail than [Resolution]. You may however experience a slight drop in the integrity of the image quality. This setting is optimal for printing files containing text and very fine lines or CAD data with sharpness and clarity.
