Piezo Quality Settings was Re: Looking for 3000 Advice

2001-10-05 by Martin Wesley

Julian,

In the v6 of the Piezo driver you can select a quality level 
of "Good", "Better" or "Best". I believe the Piezo driver uses these 
to select a paper feed increment that is related to the increments 
used by the Epson driver. The Epson prints 720 dpi side-to-side but 
by using smaller amounts of paper advance can up the resolution to 
1440 or 2880. So on a 1200 the "Best" Piezo setting should use the 
paper advance increment of the 1440 dpi setting. I am not an expert 
here and may not be getting this right.
