3.4.3. To set the orientation of the page on the paper
1) In the Orientation area click the Portrait or Landscape button. The Portrait button will
print the pages upright to the direction of the paper feed. This orients the pages vertically the
way a typical portrait is shown with the up and down being the long dimension of the paper.
The Landscape button prints the pages parallel to the direction of the paper feed. This
orients the pages horizontally the way a typical landscape painting is shown with the up and
down being the short dimension of the paper. The default is Portrait.
2) Click the OK button to close the Properties dialog box, then OK again (or Print from some
applications) to print the document.
3.4.4. To set print resolution
1) In the Resolution area click the 600 DPI or 1200 DPI button. The printed output will print
at either 600 dots per inch vertically and horizontally or 1200 dots per inch vertically and
horizontally. The default is 600 DPI.
2) Click the OK button to close the Properties dialog box, then OK again (or Print from some
applications) to print the document.
Note: • Printing resolution affects the quality of the printed page. Usually higher
resolution means better quality output but that is not always the case. For most
work 600 DPI is more than adequate to deliver good text and image quality and
the difference between 600 DPI and 1200 DPI will not be discernable by the
average person. Printing at 1200 DPI is recommended when the image has thin
lines or large picture areas with smooth changes in image density where higher
resolution can capture the thin lines and provide better gradation details for the
image material.
