Use manual print modes
Try the following multi-purpose (MP) modes to see if they solve the image-quality problems. At the
control panel, touch Administration, and then Print Quality, and then scroll to the Print Modes or
Optimize submenus.
If you are having print-quality problems when using a specific paper type, use the Print Modes submenu
to override the factory-default mode setting can sometimes resolve the print quality problems. You can
associate a different print mode with each paper type.
Use the Optimize submenu to optimize print engine parameters to get the best possible print quality for
all the jobs rather than printing by media type. Use the Restore Optimize option to reset all of the
Optimize parameters back to the factory default settings
