3.8 Setting Print Quality

3.8Setting Print Quality

The printer features the Print Quality menu which lets you select:

•Tone mode (Normal and Fine)

•Gloss mode (Low and High)

3.8.1Tone Mode

The Tone Mode selects the way the printer handles a pixel for representing the color and halftoning for each pixel — Normal or Fine. The Fine tone mode uses four-bit smooth halftone for photographs, image, etc.; and the Normal tone mode uses a two-bit halftone for text, solid objects, etc. Either of these tone modes consistently affects all objects on a page.

The Fine tone mode provides the print quality better than Normal, but the printing speed is slower and more memory is required. To enable the printing in Fine tone mode (4 bpp) on A3 or B4 with duplex printing, the minimum printer memory requirement is 160 MB.

The amount of memory actually required may vary depending on the data to print.

Note

The default tone mode is Normal. To confirm and change the tone mode, proceed as follows:
