    Media Type
    To achieve the best print results, the media being printed on should 
    be selected in the driver. The MFC changes the way it prints, 
    depending on the selected media type.
    Plain Paper
    Inkjet Paper
    Glossy Paper (4 color)
    Glossy Paper (3 color)
    Transparencies
    Quality
    The quality selection allows you to choose the print resolution you 
    want for your document. Print quality and speed are related. The 
    higher the quality the longer it will take to print the document. The 
    quality selections that are available will vary depending on the media 
    type you select.
    Photo: 2400 × 1200 dpi. Use this mode to print precise images 
    such as photographs. This is the highest resolution and slowest 
    speed.
    S.Fine (Super Fine): 1200 × 1200 dpi. Use this mode to print 
    precise text and photographs. Since the print data is much larger 
    than normal mode, the processing time, data transfer time and 
    print time will be longer.
    Fine: 600 × 600 dpi. Better print quality than normal mode and 
    faster print speed than Super Fine.
    Normal: 600 × 300 dpi. Good print quality with typical print 
    speed.
    Fast: 450 × 150 dpi. The fastest print mode and the lowest ink 
    consumption. Use this mode to print large volume documents or 
    a document for proofing. 
    The print quality of black ink depends on the type of glossy 
    paper you are using. Black ink is used when you select 
    Glossy 
    Paper (4 color)
    . If the glossy paper you are using repels the 
    black ink, select 
    Glossy Paper (3 color), which simulates 
    black ink by combining the three ink colors.

    Bi-Directional Printing
    When Bi-Directional Printing is selected, the print heads print in both 
    directions and offer faster print speeds. When not selected, the print 
    heads will only print in one direction to provide higher quality printouts.

    Paper Size
    The paper size selection provides a large selection of standard paper 
    sizes. If you wish, you can create a custom size ranging from 3.5 
    × 
    4 (88.9 × 101.6 mm) to 8.5 × 14 (216.0 × 355.6 mm). From the 
    drop-down box, select the Paper Size you are using. 
    You can enter custom size by selecting User Defined. Select the 
    proper paper thickness to improve the quality of your output.
    Page Layout
    The Page Layout selection can reduce the image size of a page 
    allowing multiple pages to be printed on one sheet of paper or 
    enlarging the image size for printing one page on multiple sheets of 
    paper. If you are using Windows
    ® 95/98/98SE, the 4 in 1 layout is not 
    available.
    Border Line
    When printing multiple pages on one sheet with the Page Layout 
    feature, you can choose to have a solid border, dashed border or no 
    border around each page on the sheet.

    (1 to 999).
    Collate
    With the collate check box selected, one complete copy of your 
    document will be printed and then repeated for the number of copies 
    you selected. If the collate check box is not selected, then each page 
    will be printed for all the copies selected before the next page of the 
    document is printed.
    Reverse Order

    order.

    edge of the paper up to 0.12 inch (3 mm). Print time will be slightly 
    slower.Portrait (Vertical)Landscape (Horizontal)

    Paper Feed
    The Paper Feed pull-down box allows you to choose how the 
    machine feeds paper.
    Auto Feed: The machine feeds subsequent pages automatically. 
    Manual Feed: The machine feeds one sheet at a time. After the 
    first page is printed, the machine’s LCD instructs you to insert a 
    sheet of paper. Use this mode if you are using the Manual Feed 
    Slot for thicker paper. (See Using the manual feed slot on page 
    12-3.)

    Color
    Color/Grayscale
    This selection allows a color document to be printed in black and 
    white using gray scale.
    Image Type
    The printer driver will select the most suitable color matching and half 
    tone method, depending on your image type. Generally, text and 
    business graphics are printed vividly and photographic images are 
    printed softly.
    Auto: The printer driver automatically selects the image type.
    Photo: Select this mode for photographic images.
    Graphics: Select this mode for documents that contain text or 
    business graphics (charts or clip art).

    Custom Image Type
    You can select the color matching method manually. Select the best 
    one for your document.
    Match Monitor
    Color is adjusted to get the closest color match to the PC monitor.
    Natural: Suitable for photographic images. This color is adjusted 
    to set the natural color.
    Vivid: Suitable for business graphics such as charts, graphics 
    and text. The color is adjusted to give more vivid color.
    Halftone Pattern
    The MFC can use two methods (Diffusion or Dither) to arrange 
    where to place dots to express halftones. There are some predefined 
    patterns set for this and you can select which one to use for your 
    document. Select the appropriate method. 
    Diffusion: Dots are placed at random to create the halftones. 
    This method of printing is more suitable for printing photographs 
    that have delicate shades and graphics.
    Dither: Dots are arranged in a pre-defined pattern to make halftones. This 
    type of printing is more suitable to printing graphics that have definite color 
    boundaries or for printing charts such as business charts.
    Some halftone settings cannot be selected with certain 
    combinations of Media Type and Quality selections.
