pr e v i e W i m a g e b i t S p e r p i x e l

From the Queue menu, choose Properties and click the Performance tab.
For most cases, the Resolution Reduction slider should be OFF. e Resolution Reduction
slider is used to reduce the resolution of the data being spooled, thereby reducing the size of the
required spool data. For text and line art, it is likely that half of the resolution data can be dis-
carded without impacting the appearance of the printed output.
However, avoid reducing the resolution with images (i.e., gradients that utilize halftones), since
the quality can deteriorate quickly.
If the Intelligent Resolution Reduction checkbox is ticked, then the Resolution Reduction
feature will be applied automatically using a sophisticated set of criteria.
