Print Resolution = 300 dpi

= 1200 Image Q
The Print Resolution setting defines the number of dots printed
per inch (dpi). The higher the setting, the sharper the clarity of
printed characters and graphics.
If your print jobs are mostly text, select 600 dpi for the highest
quality output. Select 1200 Image Q (1200 Image Quality) when
your job contains bitmapped images, such as scanned photos
or certain graphics that benefit from enhanced line screening.
Print Darkness = Lightest

= Darker
= Darkest
Use Print Darkness to lighten or darken text and images on the
printed page. For finer lines, higher definition grayscale images,
and to conserve toner, select Lighter or Lightest. For bolder line
widths and darker grayscale images, select Darker or Darkest.
Toner Saver = Off*
= On
Set Toner Saver to On to reduce the amount of toner used on
the printed page. Setting Toner Saver to On may help reduce
costs. Setting Toner Saver to Off improves print quality.
PictureGrade = Off

Use the PictureGrade menu item to improve the quality of
grayscale printing at 300 and 600 dpi resolutions. If you select
Off, the printer uses the standard screening parameters. If you
select On, different default screening parameters are used to
improve the print quality of graphics.
