Printer Driver 8-6
Half Speed Mode
With this feature, you can reduce the print speed to half the rated speed. When
selected, the toner adheres better when printing on small size, thick, or textured
paper. This mode may result in quieter printing.
To enable this feature, in the Imaging tab, select the Half speed mode check
box.
Note: Half speed mode applies to all media types except Transparency and
Vellum.
EcoPrint
With this feature, you can change toner saturation in the print job, making the
entire print image, including text and graphics, appear lighter. EcoPrint does
not increase print speed. The amount of toner varies based upon the type of
data printed (text, graphics, or both).
EcoPrint also appears in the Quick Print tab and in the Basic tab. Changes in
Imaging, Quick Print, or Basic tabs are reflected in the other tab.
EcoPrint should be turned on before using Lock Settings. When EcoPrint is
turned off, using Lock Settings makes EcoPrint unavailable to all users.
An administrator can ensure that all jobs are printed in EcoPrint mode by
selecting Device Settings > Administrator > Lock Settings, and then
selecting EcoPrint.
Selecting EcoPrint
1
In the Imaging tab, click the EcoPrint icons to change between On and Off.
2
Click OK in all dialog boxes.
Black and White Adjustment
With this feature, you can change the brightness and contrast of graphics.
These settings are useful if graphic images are printing too light, too gray, or too
dark. Text remains unaffected.
Adjusting Black and White Settings
1
In the Imaging tab, under the Adjustment list, select Custom.
A preview image in the Adjustment Settings dialog box illustrates any
brightness and contrast changes.
2
Type or select the Brightness value to lighten or darken the graphic images of
the print job.
The brightest setting is +100; the darkest is -100. Zero is the default mid-level
setting. Adjusting brightness allows for the customization of graphic images if
images are printing too light or too dark.
3
Type or select the Contrast value to increase or decrease the proportion of light
to dark in the graphic images of the print job.
