3-4 Selecting a Print Mode
Selecting a Print Mode The bidirectional print modes (printing occurs in both direc-

quality required.
Speed or throughput depends on the mode
selected, and by other factors such as the width of the image.
The unidirectional (left-only) modes are available for rigid cut-

is not perfectly flat.
