Power Saver

High Resolution Printing

Several features have been designed into the LN17 printer to enhance your printing environment. Using the printer’s Control Panel menu system, you can tailor printer settings to match your printing requirements.

See Chapter 3: Using the Control Panel for more information about the Control Panel and its menu system.

After 60 minutes of inactivity, the printer automatically turns off internal components to reduce the amount of electricity used. The printer automatically turns those parts back on when it receives a print job.

Using the printer’s Control Panel menu system, you can send the printer into Power Saver mode after your choice of 15, 30, 60, 90 or 120 minutes of inactivity (or Power Saver mode can be disabled).

See the section “System Menu” (page 3-24) in Chapter 3: Using the Control Panel.

The LN17 printer is set to print at 600 x 600 dpi (dots per inch). You can change this setting to 1200 x 600 dpi to enhance grayscale images.

For professional quality printouts, the Print Quality option (in the PCL Emulat and PostScript menus) is set to TrueRes. The TrueRes setting smooths edges to produce a crisper looking printout.

If you want to print draft-quality jobs, set Print Quality to Toner Saving. The printer automatically reduces the amount of toner used (and prints a lower-quality output).

See Chapter 3: Using the Control Panel for instructions on changing Control Panel settings.
