Use the following Graphic options to adjust the print quality for your specific printing needs. See “Printing a Document” on page 4 for more information on accessing printer properties.
Click the Graphic tab to display the properties shown below.
Quality
The Quality options you can select may vary depending on your printer model. The higher the setting, the sharper the
clarity of printed characters and graphics. The higher setting also may increase the time it takes to print a document.
Color Mode
You can choose color options. Setting to Color typically produces the best possible print quality for color documents. If you want to print a color document in grayscale, select Grayscale. If you want to adjust the color options manually, select Manual and click the Color Adjust or Color Matching button.
•Copies Setting : In order to use this option, first you need to set total number of copies from Paper tab. When you make several copies, and if you want to print some copies in color and some in grayscale, use this option and select the number of copies in grayscale.
•Color Adjust : You can adjust the appearance of images by changing the settings in the Levels option.
•Color Matching : You can adjust the appearance of images by changing the settings in the Settings option.
Advanced Options
You can set advanced settings by clicking the Advanced Options button.
•Raster Compression: This option determines the compression level of images for transferring data from a computer to a printer. If you set this option to Maximum, the printing speed will be high, but the printing quality will be low.
This feature is available only when you use the PCL 6 printer driver.
•TrueType Options: This option determines what the driver tells the printer about how to image the text in your document. Select the appropriate setting according to the status of your document. This feature is available only when you use the PCL 6 printer driver.
-Download as Outline: When this option is selected, the driver will download any TrueType fonts that are used in your document not already stored (resident) on your printer. If, after printing a document, you find that the fonts did not print correctly, choose Download as bit image and resubmit your print job. The Download as bit image setting is often useful when printing Adobe. This feature is available only when you use the PCL 6 printer driver.
-Download as Bitmap: When this option is selected, the driver will download the font data as bitmap images. Documents with complicated fonts, such as Korean or Chinese, or various other fonts, will print faster in this setting.This feature is available only when you use the PCL 6 printer driver.
-Print as Graphics: When this option is selected, the driver will download any fonts as graphics. When printing documents with high graphic content and relatively few TrueType fonts, printing performance (speed) may be enhanced in this setting. This feature is available only when you use the PCL 6 printer driver.
•Print all text in black: When the Print all text in black option is checked, all text in your document prints solid black, regardless of the color it appears on the screen.
•Print All Text To Darken: When the Print All Text To Darken option is checked, all text in your document is allowed to print darker than on a normal document.
•Grayscale Enhancement: Press the Smart Color tab. It allows users to preserve the details of nature photos, and improve contrast and readability among grayscale colors, when printing color documents in grayscale.
•Fine Edge: Press the Smart Color tab. It allows users to emphasize edges of texts and fine lines for improving readability and align each color channel registration in color printing mode.
