Switching Toner Save function on and off
You can reduce your printing costs with the “Toner Save“ feature.
Text and graphics are printed in grey in Toner Save mode. The purpose
of this is to use as little toner as possible. You can save on printing costs
by printing rough drafts and other preliminary materials in Toner Save
mode.
→ Select “ON“ to print your documents using a minimal amount of toner.
→ Select “OFF“ to print your documents with the normal amount of toner.
Optimizing the print quality of text and graphics (Fine-ART)
Use the “Fine-Art“ function to smooth the edges of text and graphics and
hence optimize the print quality.
→ Select “OFF“ to achieve an optimum print quality for photos (raster
graphics).
→ “MEDIUM“ is the default setting and is adequate for most text and
graphics.
→ Select “LIGHT“ to smooth the edges of text and graphics by means of
a small number of dots. In the print-out this produces a softer transition
at the edges.
→ Select “DARK“ to smooth the edges of text and graphics by means of
a large number of dots. In the print-out this produces a harder
transition at the edges.
Specifying the toner density
The amount of toner used is specified by means of the “Toner density“
function.
High toner density = high toner consumption!
Increasing the toner density produces a darker print-out but increases
the consumption of toner.
Optimizing data exchange with the printer (All raster)
Use the “All raster“ function to determine the format in which graphics and
font data will be loaded into the printer.
