ABSTRACT:
The described method and apparatus permit much cheaper and quicker print mode selection by at least semi-automating the process. In accordance with one preferred method, a set of sample images produced by different print modes are printed on the media and the user selects the highest print quality from the samples. In accordance with another preferred method, an optical detector makes the print mode selection by examining the printed samples. In accordance with yet another preferred method, the optical detector examines the medium itself for characteristics such as density, reflectivity, fibers, etc. and automatically selects a print mode that is compatible with the print medium.
