Pixelated Text on Epson 3880

I don't normally use my 3880 for text or vector graphics, but as I was printing a logo I noticed that the edges look really pixelated. I see significant improvement with the "finest detail" setting, but I'm still not getting the perfectly smooth lines I would expect from a vector graphic.

The machine otherwise operates well. I can use it to reproduce a steel engraving and still get smooth-edged lines, so it's odd that 48 point text should present a problem.

What am I missing here?
 
RIP or Driver (I suspect driver).

PDF or other file format?

Text or vector outlines of text?

Printed from which application?

Default driver. Text and vector graphics. Printing directly from Photoshop. Printing from InDesign, the results are better, but the issue still exists.
