Using Various Print Functions
This section briefly describes various print functions that you can configure with the printer driver to make
printouts appropriate for your purposes.
Print Quality Functions
Some of the print quality settings you can configure are described below.
Saving toner when printing (Economy printing)
You can save toner by printing with lower toner consumption. The amount of toner that will be used
depends on the object, such as text, line, or image.
Changing the dither pattern
A dither pattern is a pattern of dots used to simulate a color or shade of an image. If the pattern is
changed, the characteristics of the image will also change. You can select a pattern suitable for the
image to be printed.
• Some of the functions described above might not be available depending on the printer driver or
operating system. For details, see the printer driver Help.
Print Output Functions
You can specify the form of print outputs according to your purposes. This section briefly describes some
of the settings that you can specify.
Printing multiple sets of a document
You can print multiple sets of the same document.
Collating the output in document batches
You can print complete sets of a multiple-page document one set at a time (P1, P2, P1, P2 ...). If this
function is not used when printing multiple sets, prints will be output in page batches (P1, P1, P2,
P2 ...). This function is useful when, for example, making presentation materials.
Changing orientation or rotating the image
You can change the orientation of an image to portrait or landscape. You can also rotate the
image by 180 degrees. Use rotation to prevent an image from being printed upside down when
using paper with a predefined top and bottom (such as letterhead paper).
Printing multiple pages per sheet
You can print multiple pages onto one sheet of paper.
