I don't know how the dip switches work on the DJ 500, but I'm using a DJ 540 
with Harmonie, and I know that if I set the PAGE SETUP  of a document to 
300x300 DPI, I get microscoping printing, but if I PRINT at 300x300 DPI I get 
wnderful results. I leave the Page Setup at 'DeskJet Best' which is 75x75 DPI.
 
Hope this helps...
