TONER SAVE
OFF*, ON
The toner save mode is used to print a test page. If you use the toner save mode, 
you can print using less toner.
NOTE
If ON is specified for this item, you can save toner, but print result may be faint and 
unclear. Parts to which gradation is applied in very light gray may appear denser in 
color.
DENSITY
1 to 16; 3*
Adjusts the print density for the print data. As the value increases, the print 
density becomes denser.
HALFTONES
TEXT ..............RESOLUTION*, GRADATION, COLOR TONE, HIGH RESOL.
GRAPHICS ....COLOR TONE*, HIGH RESOL., RESOLUTION, GRADATION
IMAGE............COLOR TONE*, HIGH RESOL., RESOLUTION, GRADATION
This setting specifies how to express halftones in black and white data.
Print data is expressed in dots. Fine gradations, edges, and shades are 
e xpressed by using dither patterns, which are groups of dots. This is called 
halftone processing.
F or example, using a pattern that sharpens character and line edges, or a pattern 
that smoothens image and graph gradation, enables you to obtain the most 
suitable texture.
If RESOLUTION is selected, you can print text with distinct outlines, which is best 
to print text and thin lines.
If GRADATION is selected, you can print with both smooth gradation and outlines, 
which is best to print graphs and graphics that use gradation.
If COLOR TONE is selected, you can print with sharp gradation and well-balanced 
texture, contrasting light and shade, which is best for printing images.
If HIGH RESOL. is selected, finer printing can be done than with RESOLUTION, 
although toner stability is somewhat weaker. This is suited to printing small 
characters and fine lines, and outlines (such as from CAD data) sharply.

QUALITY CHANGE
CONT.PRINTING*, STOP PRINTING
Specifies whether the printer should continue printing with the image quality level 
being lowered automatically or stop printing, displaying the following error 
message when the memory required for the process runs out.
If CONT.PRINTING is specified, the printer prints with the image quality level 
being lowered automatically without displaying a message.
If STOP PRINTING is specified, the printer stops printing, displaying a message. 
In this case, the printer resumes printing with the image quality level being 
lowered by pressing [Online].
NOTE
When the message  appears frequently by specifying 
STOP PRINTING for this item, perform the following procedure.
1.If GRADATION LEVEL is set to HIGH, set it to STANDARD. If you do so, 
however, the printer prints with the gradation level of the data being lowered.
2. When the message still appears after applying the Remedy 1, or when you 
want to print with the gradation level of the data as it is, install an optional 
e xpansion memory module (RAM).
Error MessageSetting
 When the printer receives a large amount of data or 
complicated data, the memory required for the 
process may run out, and the printer may print with 
the image quality level being lowered automatically. 
Specify whether the printer should display an error 
message when the printer is in this status.

MODE TIMEOUT
OFF, 5 to 300 seconds; 15 seconds*
Specifies the function to finish a job automatically.
If you specify the time the printer times out in this item, the printer can finish a job 
automatically when the specified time has elapsed since no data is ent\
ered.
If this item is specified, the printer can output paper automatically when data is 
remaining in the printer because of an application not sending the command to 
output paper.
When OFF is specified, the printer does not use the function to finish a job 
automatically.
IMPORTANT
If the function to finish a job automatically is specified, the a job may be finished in 
the middle of the process when the computer takes a long time to process the data. 
In this case, adjust the time the printer times out.
NOTE
•The Job indicator on the control panel is on or blinking during a job.
•When the printer is offline, the printer does not use the function to finish a job 
automatically.

FIX.UNIT OFFSET
IMAGE PRIOR.1*, IMAGE PRIOR.2, OFF
Specifies whether the printer gives priority to the image quality or printing speed 
when printing after the paper is changed from narrower one to wider one.
If IMAGE PRIOR.1 is specified, the printer prints giving priority to the image 
quality. However, the printing speed drops because this lengthens the waiting time 
before the operation begins.
If IMAGE PRIOR.2 is specified, the waiting time becomes shorter than when 
IMAGE PRIOR.1 is specified.
If OFF is specified, the waiting time is eliminated, and the printer prints giving 
priority to the printing speed.
IMPORTANT
If the printing speed is given priority, residual images of the printed text or images 
may appear on both sides of the paper.
SP.S-SIZE MODE
OFF*, ON
Specifies the waiting time before the print operation begins when printing paper 
with a narrower width (A5 size etc.) continuously.
Specify ON when you want to shorten the waiting time giving priority to the 
printing speed. However, if you print wider paper immediately after printing 
narrower one, residual images of the printed text or images may appear on both 
sides of the paper. Therefore, specify ON only when you print paper with a 
narrower width continuously.
SP.PRINT MODE
PLAIN PAPER....................... OFF*, ON
Specifies whether to apply Special Print Mode when printing plain paper.
•OFF: Does not apply Special Print Mode.
•ON: Specify when the paper curls excessively on printing plain paper.
