Using a high dots-per-inch (dpi) resolution for printing produces quality printing results, but it may take longer to print. You can change the resolution settings to a lower dpi setting, depending on the type of printer that you use. If the printer that you use supports draft quality printing, you can specify draft quality for faster printing instead.
