1. When dumping a 1 bitplane image select the black and white mode in
Preferences. This is much faster than a grey-scale or color dump.
2. Horizontal dumps are much faster than vertical dumps.
3. Smoothing doubles the print time. Use it for final copy only.
4. F-S dithering doubles the print time. Ordered and half-tone
dithering incur no extra overhead.
5. The lower the density, the faster the printout.
6. Friction-fed paper tends to be much more accurate than tractor-fed
paper in terms of vertical dot placement (i.e., less horizontal
strips or white lines).
7. Densities which use more than one pass tend to produce muddy
grey-scale or color printouts. It is recommended not to choose these
densities when doing a grey-scale or color dump.
Keep This in Mind.
------------------
It is possible that the printer has been instructed to receive a
certain amount of data and is still in an "expecting" state if an
I/O request has been aborted by the user. This means the printer
would try to finish the job with the data the next I/O request might
send. Currently the best way to overcome this problem is for the
printer to be reset.
