6.1 Specifying Resolution Data

All printers support one or more horizontal and vertical resolutions for raster graphics output. A resolution is an integer value specified in dots-per-inch (dpi), which indicates the number of distinct dots that the print head or ink-jet can apply along the x- or the y-axis.

The Diconix 150 Plus supports the following three resolutions:

X-resolution Y-resolution

80 96
160 96
320 96

The HP LaserJet IIP supports the following three resolutions:

X-resolution Y-resolution

75 75
150 150
300 300

The RESOLUTION dialog box contains controls which you use to specify resolution data such as the text resolution, graphics resolution, color capabilities at a given resolution, methods of sending blocks of graphics data, and so on. The RESOLUTION dialog box is shown in the following illustration:
