Color matching
Black Finish
Use this option to control the way black is printed in colour documents. Select Composite
Black (CMYK) to use all 4 toner colours to represent black. This option is recommended
for color photos. Select True Black (K) to use 100% black toner to represent black. This
option is recommended for text and business graphics.
Brightness / Saturation
This option allows you to increase brightness for a lighter print. Modify saturation to change
the strength (or purity) of a colour.
If the printed colours are too strong, reduce saturation and increase brightness. As a
general rule, reduce saturation by the same amount as you increase brightness. For
example, if you reduce saturation by 10, increase brightness by 10 to compensate.

Media weight
Select the thickness or type of paper in the printer. It is important to set this correctly as
it affects the temperature at which the toner is fused to the paper. For example, if you are
printing on normal A4 paper, do not select Labels or Transparency as this may cause toner
smearing and paper jams.
Auto tray switch
If the printer runs out of paper in the current tray, Auto Tray Switch automatically changes
to a tray that has the same type of paper and continues printing.
