Return to Overview

This setting sets the compression mode when printing image data.

Image data is compressed to be stored in the machine's memory when printing with this machine. Image quality will differ depending on the ratio of compression. The higher the compression ratio, the more image quality will deteriorate, as shown in the diagram below.

This setting allows you to select the compression mode as desired, such as for printing high-quality image data. Under most circumstances, it is preferable to leave this option set to [Standard].

If [Image Priority] is selected, data will be stored at a low compression ratio to minimize deterioration of image quality.

If [Speed Priority] is selected, more data will be storable in the machine's memory, allowing you to minimize any decrease in speed. However, the data will be stored at a high compression ratio, and the image quality will be lower.

• For all selections within this setting, if the data is too large to be stored in the machine's memory, it will be recompressed at a high compression ratio.

• To avoid deterioration in image quality resulting from repeated recompression, select [Display Error] for "Compressed Image Output." This allows you to cancel a job before an image with deterioration is printed out.

• Depending on the image data, the image quality may not change even if the compression mode is changed.
