<Mode 1>
This mode is suitable for printing documents that contain pages where there are much text or image data. However, the printing speed may be slower.
<Mode 2>
When printing documents whose amount of text or image data is small, selecting this mode will reduce the degree of decrease in the printing speed as compared to <Mode 1>.
<Mode 3>
If you want to avoid a slower printing speed, select this mode. However, improvement of the print quality will be impossible.

Paper Feed Method
Specify this setting when you print a document on paper with logos. To print on paper with logos, you need to change how the paper loaded in the paper source is facing depending on whether you are performing 1- or 2-sided printing. However, if you change the setting to <Print Side Priority>, you can just load the paper face down for both 1- and 2-sided printing. For more information, see Loading Preprinted Paper.

<Speed Priority>
When using paper that has been preprinted with a logo, you need to change which side is up depending on 1-sided or 2-sided printing.
We recommend selecting <Speed Priority> if you do not need to consider which side to print on.
<Print Side Priority>
To print on a specific side of paper, you do not need to flip over paper in the paper source regardless of whether 1- or 2-sided printing is selected.
Even if <Print Side Priority> is selected for the paper source (Paper), it is disabled and the machine operates in the same way as when <Speed Priority> is selected. In this case, load the paper in the same way as when <Speed Priority> is selected (Loading Preprinted Paper).
If you select <Print Side Priority>, 1-sided printing speed will be slower.
