Setting Toner Options

Two toner cartridge configuration options are available: Conserve Toner and Toner Out Act[ion].

Conserve Toner

To help you conserve toner, your printer can simulate draft-quality printing. The amount of toner used during printing is reduced by screening the black dots in a 1:4.5 ratio. In other words, 1 black dot is printed for every 4.5 black dots that would in normal printing mode.

»Note: The Conserve Toner option is designed for draft printing only. Turn off the Conserve Toner option when printing proof or final copies of documents to avoid any possible distortion of patterns, halftone, and images. Unlike the control panel, PS Executive allows you to set Conserve Toner on a per-job basis
