The printer is capable of 3 print quality modes: Super Letter Quality (SLQ), Letter Quality and Draft. Successive presses of the ‘YOOE:button will alternate between these three settings(the SLQ mode is indicated by the top indicator showing orange). Remember that the printer must be off-line for you to do this. Holding down this button will cycle continuously between these three options.
