Specifies whether the printer prints in letter-quality or draft mode. Used primarily with dot-matrix printers; the _pquality value usually has no effect on printers that don't support draft mode, such as laser and Postscript printers.

Syntax

_pquality = <expL>

<expL>

The logical expression true for letter quality and false for draft quality.

Default

The default for _pquality is false for draft mode.

Description

Use _pquality to determine whether the printer prints in letter-quality or draft mode. Letter-quality mode produces printed copy of higher quality (finer resolution) than draft; however, draft mode usually prints more quickly than letter-quality, depending on the printer.
