TONER SAVE 
MODE ON  
OFF
  Reduces the amount of toner used for 
imaging. Toner savi

prints but is more economical.
MONO-PRINT 
SPEED AUTO SPEED
   
 
 
 
MONO 32PPM
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
COLOR SPEED   
 
 
MIXED SPEED If the first page of a print job is black 
and white, the printer runs at 32ppm 
(pages per minute). When a color page 
is detected the printer slows down to 
26ppm for the rest of that job.
This setting operates in the same way 
as AUTO SPEED, except that the printer 
runs at 32ppm until a color page is 
detected. To achieve this speed the 
printer requires an additional 10 – 20 
seconds to warm up and 30 –60 
seconds to cool down when switching to 
26ppm for color pages. This setting is 
therefore most appropriate when the 
majority of print jobs are entirely black 
and white.
The printer runs at 
26ppm for all print 
jobs. This setting is most appropriate 
when the majority of print jobs are in 
color.
The printer automatically switches 
between 26ppm for each color page and 
20ppm for each black and white page. 
When black and white pages are 
printed, the 3 color drums are 
automatically lifted to maximize their 
working life. This operation imposes 
delay each time the printer switches 
between color and black and white 
printing. However, the 30 –60 second 
cool down delay described for MONO 
32ppm is avoided by limiting mono 
speed to 20ppm. This setting may be 
preferred for mostly black and white 
printing with some color pages, or 
where most print jobs are entirely color 
or entirely black and white.
ORIENTATION PORTRAIT   
LANDSCAPE Selects default page orientation 
between portrait (tall) and landscape 
(wide).
LINES PER PAGE 5~ xx~128
xx = 65 (A4)
xx = 60 (Letter) Sets the number of lines of text per 
page when raw text is received from 
systems other than Windows. 
The default for A4 portrait is 65.
The default for Letter is 60.

MANUAL  If set to AUTO, image density will be 
automatically adjusted at power on, 
when a new image drum or toner 
cartridge is installed, and at intervals of 
100, 300 and 500 drum counts. If a 500 
drum count interval occurs during a 
print job it will occur at the end of that 
job, and will take up to 55 seconds. If 
set to manual, this 
adjustment will only 
be performed when initiated by the next 
menu item.
