Green settings

The options on the Green dialog box allow you to conserve

toner and power.

Toner Saving

Allows you to use less toner when printing draft

documents. This can reduce your printing costs because

you need to replace toner cartridges less often. Toner

Saving can be one of the following: Light, Medium, Dark,

or Off (default).

The Light setting uses the least amount of toner, and the

Dark setting produces the most legible output while still

saving toner.

Setting Toner Saving to Off results in normal output and

toner usage.

Edge Smoothing

Allows you to adjust the edge smoothing feature or turn it

off. Edge smoothing improves the appearance of text and

line art by smoothing the edges of characters and line art.

For more information about edge smoothing, see Chapter 3.

The settings for Edge Smoothing are Off, Light, Medium

(default), and Dark Normally you should not need to

change the default setting. Probably you need to adjust

Edge Smoothing only in the following cases:

You notice the edges of text or line art are too light or

dark. To adjust for this, use the Light setting if the

edges are too dark, or use the Dark setting if the edges

are too light.

Some graphics that include gray shading or a screen

pattern are improved when you turn off Edge

Smoothing.
