Abstract
In an inkjet printer, a print medium is selectively printed on in a multiple pass printing mode and/or a single pass printing mode. During the single pass printing mode, the print medium is printed on in a single pass height. The print medium is advanced a distance less than the single pass height. During the multiple pass printing mode, the print medium is printed on in a multiple pass height. The multiple pass height is less than the single pass height. The print medium is advanced a distance approximately equal to the multiple pass height.
