printing.

Graphics tab options
Use the following Graphics options to adjust the print quality for your 
specific printing needs.
Adjusting color
If you feel the color difference between the printout and monitor, you 
may change the color setting such as color contrast or color level.
The printer driver provides graphic options to adjust the print quality for 
specific printing needs.
 •If the option is grayed out or not shown, that option is not 
applicable with the printer language you are using.
•This options you can select may vary depending on your printer 
model. 
1.To change the print settings from your software application, access 
Printing Preferences (See 
Opening printing preferences on 
page 2).
2.Click the Graphics tab. Refer to the online help for each option’s 
information provided from the Printing Preferences.
•Color Mode: You can choose color options between Color or 
Grayscale. Setting to Color typically produces the best possible 
print quality for color document. If you want to print a color 
document in gray scale, select Grayscale. 
 BlackOptimization allows you to print in high quality black. 
If you use this option, it might take longer to print.
To adjust color manually, select Advanced in Color Mode. 
Simply slide the color balance slider in the Levels tab to adjust 
color, or select Matching tab for driver provided color correction 
for general image processing.
•Font/ Text: Select Darken Text to print texts darker than on a 
normal document. Use All Text Black to prints solid black, 
regardless of the color it appears on the screen.
You can set advanced settings by clicking the Advanced button. 
-True Type Options: This option determines what the driver 
tells the printer about how to image the text in your 
document. Select the appropriate setting according to the 
status of your document. 
-Use Printer Fonts: When Use Printer Fonts is checked, 
the printer uses the fonts that are stored in its memory 
(resident fonts) to print your document, rather than 
downloading the fonts used in your document. Because 
downloading fonts takes time, selecting this option can 
speed up your printing time. When using Printer fonts, the 
printer will try to match the fonts used in your document to 
those stored in its memory. If, however, you use fonts in 
your document that are very different from those resident 
in the printer, your printed output will appear very different 
from what it looks like on the screen.
•Raster Compression: This option determines the compression 
level of images for transferring data from computer to a printer. If 
you set this option to Maximum, the printing speed will be high, 
but the printing quality will be low. (PCL driver only)
•Graphic Controller: It allows user to emphasize edges of texts 
and fine lines for improving readability and align each color 
channel registration in color printing mode.
-Grayscale Enhancement: It allows users to preserve the 
details of nature photos, and improve contrast and readability 
among gray scaled colors, when printing color documents in 
grayscale. (PCL driver only)
-Fine Edge: It allows users to emphasize edges of texts and fine 
lines for improving readability.
•Toner Save: Selecting this option extends the life of your toner 
cartridge and reduces your cost per page without a significant 
reduction in print quality.
3.Select Apply after completing the settings.
