Image Refinement

[On]*, [Off]

This setting smoothes the jagged outlines of characters and graphics.

If [On] is selected, smoothing is performed before printing.

If [Off] is selected, jobs are printed without being smoothed.

NOTE
The function is not available if 'Resolution' is set to [1200 dpi]. The results of image refinement may be different depending on the types of characters and graphics you want to print.

Density

-8 to +8; 0*

This mode is not available if you set [Toner Save] to [On].

This setting adjusts the print density.

Pressing [Dark] makes the print image darker, pressing [Light] makes the image lighter. This setting has 17 levels you can adjust, with level 0 (middle level) being the default setting.

Density (Fine Adjust)

[High]	-8 to +8; 0*
[Medium]	-8 to +8; 0*
[Low]	-8 to +8; 0*

This mode is not available if you set [Toner Save] to [On].

This setting adjusts the print density.

Pressing [Dark] makes the print image darker, pressing [Light] makes the image lighter. This setting has 17 levels you can adjust, with level 0 (middle level) being the default setting.

Toner Save

[On], [Off]*

This setting enables you to set the Toner Save mode. Toner Save uses less toner to print documents and may result in longer toner life.

Line Refinement

[On], [Off]*

This setting enables clearer printing of fine lines and small characters, or when you want to print

characters and lines thicker.

NOTE
This setting is applicable only when 'Resolution' is set to [1200 dpi]. This setting remains in effect even when the printer job is sent to a box.

Horizontal Line Refinement

[Off]*, [Level 1], [Level 2], [Level 3], and [Level 4]

This setting adjusts the thickness of horizontal lines to express fine lines and small characters more clearly. The higher the level number, the thicker the horizontal lines printed.

NOTE
This setting is applicable only when 'Resolution' is set to [1200 dpi]. This setting is also available when 'Line Refinement' is set to [On] in the printer driver. With this setting, horizontal lines are based on the direction in which the paper is fed. Selecting [Level 2] or higher for this setting may result in abrupt changes in gradation with halftone images.

Vertical Line Refinement

[Off]*, [Level 1], [Level 2], [Level 3], and [Level 4]

This setting adjusts the thickness of vertical lines to express fine lines and small characters more clearly.

The higher the level number, the thicker the vertical lines printed.

NOTE
This setting is applicable only when 'Resolution' is set to [1200 dpi]. This setting is also available when 'Line Refinement' is set to [On] in the printer driver. With this setting, vertical lines are based on the direction in which the paper is fed. Selecting [Level 2] or higher for this setting may result in abrupt changes in gradation with halftone images.

Resolution

[1200 dpi], [600 dpi]*

This setting specifies the resolution for printing.

Resolution is expressed in units of dpi (dots per inch), indicating the number of dots in one inch. The higher the value, the greater the resolution, allowing finer expression of detail.

[1200 dpi]

The outline of characters and diagrams can be finely printed. This is suited to printing data containing fine lines and small characters.

[600 dpi]

You can perform printing suited to general documents and tables.

IMPORTANT
If you select [1200 dpi] for [Resolution], you cannot specify the following settings: rotate collate, different paper sizes (LTR/LGL), and double stapling on the short edge of A4 and LTR size paper.
