Using a high dots-per-inch (dpi) resolution for printing produces quality printing results, but it might 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.

b. On the Page tab, in the Print quality box, select the resolution that you want to use.
Note
The dpi settings that are available depend on the type of printer that you're using.
