Print Quality
You can choose the following print quality settings.
•Normal (600 x 600 dpi)
600 dpi class. Recommended for ordinary printing. Good print quality with good print speed.
•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.
 
Color / Mono
You can change the Color/Mono settings as follows:
•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
When your document contains color and you want to print it in color, select this mode.
•Mono
Select this mode if your document has only black and gray scale text and/or objects. Mono mode makes 
the print processing speed faster than color mode. If your document contains color, selecting Mono 
mode prints your document in 256 levels of gray.
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.
 
Toner Save Mode
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.
 
Paper Source
You can choose Auto Select, Tray 1, Tray 2, MP Tray or Manual.

Color Mode
You can change the color mode as follows:
•Normal
This is the Default color mode.
•Vivid
The color of all elements are adjusted to become a more vivid color.
•None
Enhance Black Printing
If a black graphic cannot be printed correctly, choose this setting.
Improve Gray Color
You can improve the image quality of shaded areas by checking the Improve Gray Color check box.
Skip Blank Page
If Skip Blank Page is checked, the printer driver automatically detects blank pages and excludes them 
from printing.
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.
 
Sleep Time
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. If you 
want to change the sleep time, choose Manual and then enter the time in the text box on the driver. 
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.
