Setting Item
Setting Value
Setting
[Resolution]
[600 dpi], [1200 dpi]
Specify the print resolution for processing print data.
[600 dpi] is suited for printing ordinary documents and spreadsheets at fast speeds.
[1200 dpi] provides a high level of resolution to reproduce fine details such as text and layout or drawing borders faithfully and clearly.
It is especially suited for printing data containing small font sizes and thin lines.
[Image Refinement]
[Off], [On]
Set whether to use the smoothing process to print the jagged edges of text and graphics.
When this setting is set to [On], the smoothing process is performed.
When this setting is set to [Off], no smoothing process is performed.
The effect of the smoothing process varies depending on the gradation patterns of text, graphics, and images (such as drawings, tables, and graphs).
When [Resolution] is set to [1200 dpi], this setting is not displayed.
[Toner Save]
[Off], [On]
[Toner Save] is used for test printing. When you use [Toner Save], you can save toner when you print.
[Density]*
-8 Light -0- +8 Dark
Adjust the print density when printing. The larger the setting value, the greater the print density.
When [Toner Save] is set to [On], this setting is unselectable.
[Density (Fine Adj)]*
[High]: -8 Light -0- +8 Dark
[Mid]: -8 Light -0- +8 Dark
[Low]: -8 Light -0- +8 Dark
Fine-tune the toner density for printing.
When [Toner Save] is set to [On], this setting is unselectable.
[Halftones]
[Text]: [Resolution], [Gradation], [Color Tone], [High Resolution]
[Graphics]: [Resolution], [Gradation], [Color Tone], [High Resolution]
[Image]: [Resolution], [Gradation], [Color Tone], [High Resolution]
Specify the halftone display method when printing.
[Resolution] allows you to print in fine detail so that the edges of text data can be seen clearly. It is suitable for printing data containing text and fine lines.
[Gradation] allows you to perform printing that combines smooth gradation with edge quality. It is suitable for printing graphics or graphs that use gradation.
[Color Tone] allows you to print with a sharp gradation and well-balanced texture, contrasting light and shade, which is best suited for printing photo images.
[High Resolution] is that it is possible to print at a higher resolution than [Resolution] or [Gradation], but texture stability is slightly inferior. It is suitable for printing data containing text and fine lines and data such as CAD data that is printed with sharp edges.
[Reduce Quality]
[Continue Printing], [Stop Printing]
Specifies whether the printer should continue printing with the image quality of the data being lowered automatically or stop printing displaying the following error message when the memory required for the process runs out.
If [Continue Printing] is specified, the printer prints with the image quality level being lowered automatically without displaying a message.
If [Stop Printing] is specified, the printer stops printing, displaying a message. In this case, the printer resumes printing with the image quality of the data being lowered by pressing [  ] (Online).
