Print Modes
Your printer has three print modes:
•Normal: for letter-quality printing
•High Speed: for printing drafts
•High Impact: for printing multipart forms

Normal Print Mode

Use for every day, letter-quality printing.

High Speed Print Mode

Use for high speed draft printing.
When this mode is selected, the print appears lighter than in the
Normal print mode.

High Impact Print Mode

In High Impact print mode, each character is printed twice.
This mode is used to print thick multi-part forms or multipart forms
with a thick first page and thin second (or more) pages.
Caution!
High Impact print mode can cause the paper to tear:
• if the paper is too thin
• if you print horizontal lines
High Impact Print Mode reduces ribbon life expectancy.
• If you consistently use High Impact Print Mode, ribbon life can
be cut in half.
If you have a new ribbon and use High Impact Print Mode to
print high-density characters or graphics, the paper may be
smudged.
