Now I'm really confused. My scanner software has always asked me -- not
what resolution printer I have -- but what resolution I want to scan at.
Doesn't everybody's ? (My Microtek did that, the new UMax does, too.)
As for the printer telling me what resolution it's really printing at --
all I know is that if the file is over a megabyte or two, I'll get a
message saying it (laser printer) couldn't print at the specified
resolution. Supposedly it has 4 mbs of memory, but maybe it uses some of
them for something else.
Trying to get around that, instead of doing all 4 color separations in one
printing, I printed them 1 at a time (out of Pagemaker), but whether this
actually made a difference I couldn't tell, because the printer was silent
on the topic.
Finally, Ken says to figure resolution put dots or marks "an exact number
of pells apart." I've heard of "poles apart," but not pells apart.
What's a pell?
Thanks in advance,
Judy
