Graphics
The Graphics dialog provides options for selecting Resolution.

resolution. The higher the setting, the sharper the clarity of printed
characters and graphics. A higher setting will also increase the time
it takes to print a document.
• Darkness: This option allows you to enhance the darkness of the
printouts. The available options are Normal, Light, and Dark.
Printer Features
• Paper Type: Set paper type to correspond to the paper loaded in
the tray from which you want to print. This will let you get the best
quality printout. If you load a different type of print material, select the
corresponding paper type.
Printer Settings
• Toner Save Mode: Selecting this option extends the life of your
toner cartridge and reduces your cost per page without a significant
reduction in print quality.

determined by the setting you’ve made from the machine (For
some models, you cannot change the setting from the machine.
In this case, the default setting is Off).

each page.
- Off: Set this option if you do not need to save toner when printing
