PrintFile.Quality Property

The Quality property indicates the printer resolution setting.  The default is Custom which indicates the print quality used will be the printer's default resolution preference setting.

printfile.Quality [=System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterResolutionKind]

Property Value

System.Drawing.Printing.PrinterResolutionKind.  Gets or sets the enumeration value indicating the print quality.  The default is Custom which indicates the print quality used will be the printer's default resolution preference setting.

Note: Not all of the possible values for this enumeration may be valid for your printer.  Each printer has a limited set of acceptable values.  It is up to the programmer to select the value adequate for the actual printer used to render the output of the print file.  Most printers support high, medium, low, and draft resolutions setting, although they may generate the same quality of printed output.

Remarks

If Quality is not set, the default (Custom) uses the printer's default resolution preferences setting.

To set the Quality property, click on the right side of the property and choose one of the options in the drop-down box.

Note The lowest print quality (Draft) results in the fastest print mode, while the highest print quality (High) results in the slowest print mode.
