Driver and Software

 Toner Save

You can conserve toner using this feature. When you check Toner Save, your prints appear lighter. The default setting is Off.

Note

• We do not recommend Toner Save for printing Photo or Greyscale images.

• Toner Save is not available for HQ 1200 and 1200 dpi resolutions.

 Sleep Time [Min.]

When the machine does not receive data for a certain period of time, it enters sleep mode. In sleep mode, the machine acts as though it were turned off. When you choose Printer Default, the timeout setting will be reset to the specific time set at the factory; this can be altered in the driver. If you want to change the

Sleep Time, choose 2, 10 or 30.

While the machine is in Sleep Mode, the Ready LED is dimmed, but the machine can still receive data.

Receiving a print job will automatically wake up the machine to start printing.

 Halftone Screen Lock

Stops other applications from modifying the Halftone settings. The Default setting is on.

 High Quality Image Printing

You can increase the quality of image printing. If you set High Quality Image Printing to On, the print speed will be slower.

 Improve Print Output

This feature allows you to improve a print quality problem.

• Reduce Paper Curl

If you choose this setting, the paper curl may be reduced.

If you are printing only a few pages, you do not need to choose this setting. We recommend that you change the printer driver setting in Media Type to a thin setting.

Note

This operation will decrease the temperature of the machine's fusing process.

• Improve Toner Fixing

If you choose this setting, the toner fixing capabilities may be improved. If this selection does not provide enough improvement, change the printer driver setting in Media Type to a thick setting.

Note

This operation will increase the temperature of the machine's fusing process.

 Ghost Reduction Setting

If you are using the machine in a high humidity environment this setting may reduce ghosting on the paper.

Do not use this setting if the ambient humidity is below 30% or ghosting may increase.

Note

This feature may not reduce ghosting for all types of paper. Before you buy a lot of paper, test a small quantity to make sure that the paper is suitable.

 Density Adjustment

Increase or decrease the print density.
