The higher the number is, the finer theresolution. Resolution can be set to 600 (the default), 300, 150,and 75 dpi. Lower resolutions require less memory andprocessing time.DitheringSelect a dithering pattern for converting images from oneformat to another, for example, for printing color documentsin black and white.

If the document requiresmore memory than is available in the printer, the documentis rejected. Use this setting to define how this calculation ismade. A conservative calculation ensures that printermemory is never over-committed. A more aggressivecalculation allows the printer to attempt printing a complexdocument, but memory may be over-exceeded and the printjob may not be completed.Printer MemoryThis feature appears on the driver, but does not apply to theSuperScript 4400 printer and does not need to be adjusted.CartridgesThis feature appears on the driver, but does not apply to theSuperScript 4400 printer and does not need to be adjusted.
