Setting the Print Quality
You can make the following settings to enhance the printing quality:
Kyocera Image Refinement (KIR), a software algorithm for increasing
printout quality; Ecoprint, a printing mode that reduces toner consumption
during printing; the printing resolution; and Adjustment of the Print
Density.
KIR (Kyocera Image Refinement)
This printer incorporates the KIR (Kyocera Image Refinement) smoothing
function. At resolutions of 600 dpi and 300 dpi, this function provides high
print quality by providing software enhancement of print resolution. The
function does not operate at 1200 dpi because that is the maximum
resolution attainable by the print engine. KIR provides high quality
printing by providing a software-type improvement to the resolution.
