? indicates that these are not fully verified values and you should use special caution when programming
for this setting.
* These are recommended values only. You may find that other values are more suitable for your driver or
application.
** The parameter within the “( )” indicates a user selectable option. These options are available only
when a choice, “( )”, is indicated. If the user turns MicroWeave “ON”, then High Speed mode (bi-
directional printhead printing) should be disabled for best quality..
