Setting the Print Head Speed

This section explains how to set the print head's movement speed during printing (Head Speed).

Increasing Head Speed will shorten the printing time but lower the image quality. Decreasing Head Speed will have the opposite effect.

Consider the balance between printing time and image quality when setting this value.

Procedure
  1. Click for the queue folder that you want to use.

    The Queue Properties window appears.
  2. Click .
  3. Select the media to use in printing from the Media Type list.

  5. Select the Ignore Default Settings check box.
  6. Enter the print head speed in the Head Speed box or use SpeedSelect_UpDown to set the speed.
