Brother HL-1260 service manual Protection, Print Overrun

CHAPTER 4 CONTROL PANEL

The high resolution control has been factory set to “MEDIUM.” The “LIGHT” or “DARK” setting might be better depending on the selected print density. Choose the best setting for clear and crisp printouts.

To check the printout with the high resolution control, perform the test print with the TEST switch. For operation, see “TEST Switch.”

When you perform “TEST PRINT,” the printer prints the test pattern including a block of lines. If the high resolution control is “OFF,” the lines in the test pattern are unsmoothed or stepped as shown in the left figure below. The pattern will be smoother if the high resolution control is set to LIGHT, MEDIUM, or DARK. Choose an HRC setting and perform the test print so that stepped lines become unnoticeable.

HRC = OFF HRC = MEDIUM
