Print Quality

You can choose the following print quality settings.

•Normal

600 dpi class. Recommended for ordinary printing. Good print quality with good print speeds.

2

•Fine

2400 dpi class. The finest print mode. Use this mode to print precise images such as photographs. Since the print data is much larger than in normal mode, processing time, data transfer time and printing time will be longer.

Note

•The print speed will change depending on what print quality setting you choose. Higher print quality takes longer to print, while lower print quality takes less time to print.

•(HL-3045CN only) If you choose Fine, the LCD may show Out of Memory because the printer’s memory is full. If you still get the same error message after you try printing several times, add more memory. (See Installing extra memory on page 99.)

Color/Mono

You can change the Color/Mono settings as follows:

•Color

When your document contains color and you want to print it in color, select this mode.

•Mono

Select this mode if your document has only black and grayscale text and/or objects. Mono mode makes the print processing speed faster than color mode. If your document contains color, selecting Mono mode prints your document in 256 levels of gray.

•Auto

The printer checks the content of your documents for color. If color is detected, it prints in color. If no color content is detected, it prints in monochrome. The total printing speed may become slower.

Note

If the Cyan, Magenta or Yellow toner reaches the end of its life, choosing Mono will allow you to keep printing as long as the Black toner does not reach the end of its life.

Toner Save Mode

You can conserve toner use with this feature. When you set Toner Save Mode to On, print appears lighter. The default setting is Off.

Note

We do not recommend Toner Save for printing Photo or Gray Scale images.

Reverse Printing (Mac OS X 10.4.x only)

Check Reverse Print to rotate the data by 180 degrees.
