If the printed colours are too strong, reduce saturation and increase brightness. As a general rule, reduce saturation by the same amount as you increase brightness. For example, if you reduce saturation by 10, increase brightness by 10 to compensate.

PRINTER SETUP OPTIONSPRINTER OPTIONSMedia weight

Select the thickness or type of paper in the printer. It is important to set this correctly as it affects the temperature at which the toner is fused to the paper. For example, if you are printing on normal A4 paper, do not select Labels or Transparency as this may cause toner smearing and paper jams.

Auto tray switch

If the printer runs out of paper in the current tray, Auto Tray Switch automatically changes to a tray that has the same type of paper and continues printing.

Paper size check

Select Paper Size check if you want the printer to warn you when the document paper size is different from the paper in the printer.

A warning message is displayed and printing continues when you load the correct paper in the paper tray and press ONLINE. When this option is deselected, the printer uses the paper loaded in the selected tray regardless of the document size.

Feed manually from Multipurpose Tray

Select this option if you want the printer to wait until you press the ONLINE button when feeding from the Multipurpose Tray. This can be useful if printing on envelopes.

Always create 100% black (K) toner

Select this option if you want the printer to always use only black (K) toner when printing pure black (RGB = 0,0,0). This is effective even when Composite Black (CMYK) is selected in the colour options.

Run maintenance cycle before printing

Depending on printing habits and usage patterns, running the maintenance cycle before printing may ensure the best possible print quality. This feature uses the printer's image drums and transfer belt. The life of these printer consumables may be shortened if the printer runs a maintenance cycle frequently.
