Resolution

Click the resolution, in dots per inch (dpi) for your printed document. 
Usually, the higher the resolution, the sharper the appearance of the 
document. However, print speed may be slower.

Halftoning

Click the desired halftoning method, that determines the dark and 
light shadings in your grayscale images:

Pattern  1

Click for standard halftoning.

Pattern  2

Click for halftoning that uses a different pattern than Pattern 1.

Smooth

Click for near-photographic quality printing.

Brightness

Move the slider, or type or click the percentage, to increase or 
decrease the level of brightness of your image. The lower the 
brightness, the darker the image.

Contrast

Move the slider, or type or click the percentage, to increase or 
decrease the level of difference between the darker and lighter parts 
of your image. The lower the contrast, the smaller the difference 
between the darker and lighter parts of the image.

Conserving Toner When Printing

3

You can conserve the amount of toner that is used when printing a 
document. For example, if you are printing a draft copy of a report, you 
may prefer to print with a reduced amount of toner, until you are ready to 
print the final version.

To conserve toner when printing:
1.

On the Quality tab, click More Options.
