3. Printer-specific Adjustments
To adjust the image quality in full-color printing
("Automatic" is selected from among the "Color" options on the PCL5c or PS3 printer driver. "Color" is selected from among the "Color Resolution Type" options on the Macintosh printer driver.)
*The "Color" options are available in the "Setup" tab on the PCL5c and PS3 printer drivers. The "Color Resolution Type" is available in the "Quality" menu on the Macintosh printer driver.
(a)Enter adjustment mode [05]. Change the values for codes [1055 to 1058] to adjust the upper limit of the image density in toner save mode.
*Printing on Macintosh is performed in PostScript. (See the "PS3" row in the table below.)
*The resolution option on the Macintosh printer driver is
| PDL | Resolution | [05] code | Value recommended | Acceptable | Default |
|
|
|
|
| value range |
|
| PCL5c | 600 x 600 | Set a value smaller than 176 to |
|
| |
| 1200 x 600 |
|
| |||
|
| decrease the density. | 0 to 255 | 176 | ||
|
|
|
|

| PS3 | 600 x 600 | Set a value larger than 176 to | |||
|

*Set the value in increments of approximately 10, while checking the printout until the optimum value is obtained.
To adjust the image quality in black-and-white printing
("Mono" is selected from among the "Color" options on the PCL5c or PS3 printer driver. "Mono" is selected from among the "Color Resolution Type" options on the Macintosh printer driver.)
*The "Color" options are available in the "Setup" tab on the PCL5c and PS3 printer drivers. The "Color Resolution Type" is available in the "Quality" menu on the Macintosh printer driver. The PCL6 printer driver supports only
(a)Enter adjustment mode [05]. Increase the value for code [664] or [665]. Increase the upper limit of the image density in toner save mode.

Cautions after the completion of the adjustment
The adjustment may possibly increase the amount of toner used (if the image density is increased) or cause the faint print image (if the image density is decreased). Therefore, carefully perform the adjustment, while checking the printout.
