[Mode 1]
Prints the edges of dark colored text, lines, and diagrams smoothly. Normally, you should print with the [Mode 1] setting.
[Mode 2]
Prints not only the edges, but also the interior halftones of diagrams smoothly. If the interior halftones of dark colored large text and broad lines exhibit color shift and do not print smoothly with the [Mode 1] setting, try printing with [Mode 2].
[Mode 3]
Prints dark colored text and lines smoothly on halftone backgrounds. If the interior halftones of dark colored large text and broad lines exhibit color shift, and the edges of light colored text and lines are uneven and do not print smoothly with the [Mode 1] setting, try printing with [Mode 3].
[Mode 4]
Prints the edges of a variety of objects smoothly. If the edges of light colored large text and broad lines are uneven and do not print smoothly with the [Mode 1] setting, try printing with [Mode 4].
[Mode 5]
Prints images and halftone objects evenly. If the color bands of images, diagrams, and gradations are uneven, and shading patterns to not print uniformly with the [Mode 1] setting, try printing with [Mode 5].
[Mode 6]
Prints entire objects smoothly. If there is halftone shift and unevenness throughout images with the [Mode 1] setting, try printing with [Mode 6].
[Wrinkle Adjustment]
If wrinkling occurs, causing paper jams, use this function to alleviate the wrinkling. Try [Mode 1] first. Depending on the printer model, [Mode 1] corrects wrinkles when printing with envelopes, and [Mode 2] when printing with paper whose edges are moist.
[EMF Spooling]
Spools print data in EMF format. When printing from an application, this shortens the time taken for the application to send the data to the printer.
When spooling in EMF format, problems such as the printed result differing from the image shown on the monitor, and more time being required for printing than normal, may occur depending on the application being used. If such problems occur, change the setting for [EMF Spooling] to [Off].
[Invalidate Passthrough]
Disables the passthrough function of the printer driver. If you cannot print from an application that sends print data directly to the device, disabling passthrough may make printing possible.
[Print Last Page in 1-sided Mode When 2-sided Printing is Set]
When using 2-sided printing to output print data containing an odd number of pages, this function prints the last page in 1-sided print mode to reduce the print time.

[Off]
Prints without correcting.
[On]
Corrects lines of less than two dots in width to a thickness of two dots when printing.
[Barcode Adjustment Mode]/[Special Settings 1]
In cases where barcode printing is unsatisfactory, such as when a barcode on a printed article is unreadable, this function adjusts the thickness of the printed lines.
[Special Print Mode]
[Off]
Prints without using a special print mode.
[Special Settings 1]
Adjusts the thickness and density of lines when there is a problem with barcode printing, such as when the barcode cannot be read.

Prevents white lines around the edge portions of text and images when printing documents with a high variation in density.
[Special Settings 3]
Prints quietly by reducing the print speed.
[Printing Start Position Settings]
Shifts the starting point for printing data in the long edge (upward) and short edge (rightward) directions. This function is useful for adjusting margins when the widths of the top and bottom margins and right and left margins differ, and for hiding the header information of faxes.
[Details] > [Printing Start Position Details] Dialog Box
Enables you to specify print starting positions.
[Prevent Postcard Fogging]
If the printed image is entirely or partially fogged when printing to postcards, select [Mode 1]. If this does not solve the problem, you can select [Mode 2], but this may affect the printed image itself.
[Restore Defaults]
