cYou can change settings by choosing a setting in the Printer Features list (3): 
Print Quality
You can choose the following print quality settings.
• Normal (600 x 600 dpi)
600× 600 dpi. Recommended for ordinary printing. Good print quality with reasonable print speeds.
• Fine (2400 dpi class)
2400 dpi class. The finest print mode. Use this mode to print precise images such as photographs. 
Since the print data is much larger than in normal mode, processing time / data transfer time, and 
printing time will be longer.
Note
The print speed will change depending on what print quality setting you choose. Higher print quality takes 
longer to print, while lower print quality takes less time to print.
 
 Media Type
You can use the following types of media in your machine. For the best print quality, select the type 
of media that you wish to use.
Note
If you are using glossy paper, choose  Glossy Paper. Put only one sheet at a time in the MP tray to avoid 
a paper jam.

Secure Print
Secure Print  allows you to secure documents that are password protected when they are sent to the 
machine. Only the people who know the password will be able to print them. Since the documents are 
secured at the machine, you must enter the password using the control panel of the machine. The 
secured document must have a  Password and Job Name .
(For more information about the secure print function, see  Printing Secure data on page 69.)
 Password
Choose the password for your secured document that you send to the machine from the drop-down 
box. 
 Job Name
Choose the Job name from the drop-down list for your secured document. 
 Toner Save
You can conserve toner use with this feature. When you set  Toner Save Mode to On, print appears 
lighter. The default setting is  Off. 
Note
We do not recommend  Toner Save for printing Photo or gray scale images. 
 
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 or at the 
machine. While the machine is in sleep mode, the LCD shows  Sleep, but the machine can still 
receive data. Receiving a print file or document or pressing  Go will automatically wake up the 
machine to start printing.
 Color / Mono
You can choose the following color mode:
• Auto
The machine checks the content of your documents for color. If color is detected, it prints in color. 
If no color content is detected, it prints in monochrome. The total printing speed may become 
slower.
• Color
The device will print all pages in full color mode.
• Mono
Selecting Mono mode prints your documents in gray scale.
Note
• Sometimes a document can contain color information even if it appears to be monochrome (for example, 
gray areas can actually be made from a combination of colors).
• If either the Cyan, Magenta or Yellow toner reaches the end of its life while printing a color document, the  print job cannot be completed. You can choose to start the print job again in  Mono mode, as long as black 
toner is available.

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 makes the temperature of the machine’s fusing process lower.
 
•Improve Toner Fixing
If you choose this setting, the toner fixing on paper 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 makes the temperature of the machine’s fusing process higher.

gray areas can actually be made from a combination of colors).
