Tone 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.

A3 or B4 with duplex printing, the minimum printer memory requirement is 160 MB.
