Document preview image
The document preview image is a line-drawn image of a page that represents graphics and text. The
document preview image is always oriented so that the contents of the page are right-side-up. The
document preview image appears in the upper-right corner of the Paper/Quality, Effects, Finishing,
and Output tabs.
Switching between tabs does not change the location or appearance of the document preview
image. When you move the mouse over the document preview image, the mouse cursor changes
from an arrow to a gloved hand. You can toggle between portrait and landscape page orientation by
clicking on the image.
Print Quality
The Print Quality group box contains the Print Quality drop-down box and the EconoMode check
box.
The default setting for Print Quality is FastRes 1200 for the PCL 6 print driver or 600 dpi for the HP
PCL 5e and PS emulation print drivers.
This setting controls resolution, which refers to the number of dots per inch (dpi) used to print the
page. As resolution is increased, the quality (clarity and visual appeal) of print on the page is
improved. However, higher resolution may also result in longer printing times. The following options
are available in the Print Quality drop-down box:
■ ProRes 1200 (180 lpi): Prints using a resolution of 1200 x 1200 with 180 lines per inch (lpi). This
prints slower than other resolutions, but has the best print quality.
■ ProRes 1200 (141 lpi): Prints using a resolution of 1200 x 1200 with 141 lines per inch (lpi). It
prints slower than other resolutions, but has the best print quality.
■ FastRes 1200: Prints using a resolution of 1200 x 600. It is faster than full 1200 x 1200
resolution, but has a slightly lower print quality.
■ 600 dpi: Prints using standard 600 dpi resolution.
