Phaser 7800 3rd DPI Value

Does anyone have any insight into what the 3rd DPI values refer to?

I haven't seen a 3rd value in specifications before and they are not listed for any of the Phaser 7800 potential replacements (that I have found).

Is it the height of the print?

Actually I find the figures generally confusing.

Why would photo mode have the lowest DPI except for the last figure?

Asking because I am looking to replace my 7800 at some stage before long and don't want to end up with something with lesser print quality.

 

The third value refers to the color depth, or the number of dots that can be "combined" to create a wider color gamut. By placing up to 8 dots on top of each other, a wider color gamut can be produced vs placing 1 dot of one of the 4 colors next to each other. The 4th paragraph of this ad notes this, though it is hard to find much information about it.

On my Phaser 7800 I found that photo mode wasn't as good as enhanced for most of my work so I just stuck to that.

 

Thanks so much for your reply.

My impression is that the Photo mode appears thicker on the paper while Enhanced is better for text/fine lines and in general.

A Xerox representative told me that Enhanced and Photo use more toner... The results seem slightly glossier than standard resolution.

The direct replacement Xerox are suggesting for the 7800 seems to have a lower print quality.
