Use the following Graphic options to adjust the print quality for 
your specific printing needs. See “Printing a Document” on 
page 4 for more information on accessing printer properties. 
Click the Graphics tab to display the properties shown below..
   

 The higher the setting, 

the sharper the clarity of printed characters and graphics. The 
higher setting also may increase the time it takes to print a 
document. 

Selecting this option extends the life of your toner cartridge and 
reduces your cost per page without a significant reduction in print 
quality.
• Printer Setting: If you select this option, this feature is 

determined by the setting you’ve made on the control panel of 
the printer. Some printers do not support this feature. 

• On: Select this option to allow the printer to use less toner on 

each page.

• Off: If you don’t need to save toner when printing a document, 

select this option.

Use this option to lighten or darken your print job.
• Normal: This setting is for normal documents.
• Light: This setting is for bolder line widths or darker gray-scale 

images.

• Dark: This setting is for finer line width, higher definition in 

graphics, and lighter gray-scale images.

You can set advanced settings by clicking the Advanced 
Options button. 

• TrueType Options: This option determines what the driver 

tells the printer about how to image the text in your document. 
Select the appropriate setting according to the status of your 
document. 

- Download as Bit Image: When this option is selected, the    

driver will download the font data as bitmap images.    
Documents with complicated fonts, such as Korean or    
Chinese, or various other fonts, will print faster in this setting. 

- Print as Graphics:

 

When this option is selected, the driver 

will download any fonts as graphics. When printing documents 
with high graphic content and relatively few TrueType fonts, 
printing performance (speed) may be enhanced in this 
setting.

• Print All Text Black: When the Print All Text Black option 

is checked, all text in your document prints solid black, 
regardless of the color it appears on the screen. 

• Darken Text: When the Darken Text option is checked, all 

text in your document is allowed to print darker than on a 
normal document.
