If the resolution is set to High, images are sharp and clear. Printing
takes somewhat longer at High resolution, but it
’ s the best choice for
the delivery copy of a document containing images.

Registration Page. Found in the Quality menu, the Registration page
prints color test patterns so you can see whether colors are registered, or
lined up, properly. The Registration page always prints at 600 x 600 dpi
resolution.
4
Test Pages. Also found in the Quality menu, the test pages let you check
the overall toner coverage for each toner color or for grayscale printing.
Test Page 1 is for checking color. When selected, it prints five
sequential pages
— one each of cyan, magenta, yellow, black, and
one with the colors combined.
Test Page 2 is for checking grayscale.

Vivid setting. This setting, found on the Features/Color Options or
Advanced Color Options/Configure tab of the printer driver or in

application lists the RGB source, set the printer to match. If it does not,
you can experiment with this setting to find the best option for your
print job.
If dots of cyan or magenta appear in what should be solid yellow
blocks, such as the highlighter feature in Microsoft Word or the table
and spreadsheet cell fills in Microsoft Word or Excel, set the RGB
Source to None.

CMM Test Page. Use this file to see a picture preview of your current color
setup. It also includes a brief description of all the profiles that came with
your printer. The file is on the
Software Utilities CD-ROM that came with
your printer.

Color Matching. If you see spots of toner around the edges of text, if col-
ors are too dark or too saturated, or if toner is so thick that it flakes off the
finished page, check whether Quick Color Configuration (on the Features
tab in your printer driver) is set to Disable Printer Color Matching. If it is,
choose one of the other options from the drop-down list. All of the other
