Print Quality
You can change the print quality as follows:
• B rother Photo
This is a photograph mode (gradatio n priority). Choose this setting for printing phot ographs that have
continuous gradation. You can represent soft contrasts between various shades of gray.
• Brother Graphics
This is a graphics mode (contrast priority). Choose this setting for printing text and figures, such as
business and presentation documents. You can represent sharp contrasts between shaded areas.
• Generic
This is a standard halftone pattern of Mac® OS X. If you choose this mode for printing text documents,
the print speed will be faster. Use this mode for Mac®s that have less memory.
Sleep Time
When the printer does not receive data for a certain period of time (timeout), it enters sleep mode. In sleep
mode, the printer acts as thoug h it were turned off. The default time out is 5 minutes. While the printer is in
sleep mode, all the LEDs are off, but the printer can still receive data. Receiving a print file or document
or pressing Go will automatically wak e up the printer to start printing.
Status Monitor (For Mac® X 10.2.4 or greater users)
This reports the printer status (any errors that may happen with the printer) when printing. If you would like to
turn the status monitor on, run the BrStatusMonitor.app (from the MacintoshHD (Startup Disk), choose
Library, Printers, Brother, Utilities).
