You can perform optimum printing by simply selecting the appropriate choice from

1Display the [Quality] sheet, then select the [Objective] setting.
For more detailed settings, click the [Details] button.

color lines. Color text and fine color lines are printed in 
solid black.

a web page. Low-resolution images that would 
normally print out coarsely or jagged in regular printing 
modes are printed clearly.

[B & W Halftones]: Select the method for reproducing subtle gradations 
(halftones) in black-and-white data.

images and diagrams smooth. This mode produces 
relatively stable printing results.
[Pattern 2]: Choose this setting if text, diagrams, 
tables, graphs, etc. appear exceedingly light or 
disappear when using [Pattern 1]. In some cases, 
however, diagrams, tables and graphs may appear 
even lighter or less smooth than [Pattern 1] using this 
setting.
[None [Solid]]: Prints all colors in black, except for 
white.
[Print Colored Text and Lines in 
Black]:Check this box when the color text or thin lines in CAD 
data etc. drop out or appear broken when printed. You 
should be able to print thin lines clearly.
[Enable Image Correction]: When image data such as photographic images are 
enlarged by an application when printed, the printed 
images can appear rough or jagged. Select this setting 
to smooth the images when printing this kind of 
low-resolution data.
[Toner Density]: Adjusts the density of printed toner. Adjust the density 
by dragging the [Toner Density] slider left or right.
[Use Toner Save]: By using this function, you can reduce the toner 
consumption of the printer by thinning out the data that 
is printed.
