Graphics Tab

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 

Graphic

 tab to display the properties shown below.

Quality

The Quality options you can select may vary depending 
on your printer model.

 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. 

Color Mode

You can choose color options. Setting to 

Color

 typically produces 

the best possible print quality for color documents. If you want to 

print a color document in grayscale, select 

Grayscale

. If you 

want to adjust the color options manually, select 

Manual

 and 

click the 

Color Adjust

 or 

Color Matching

 button.

•

Copies Setting

 : In order to use this option, first you need to 

set total number of copies from 

Paper

 tab. When you make 

several copies, and if you want to print some copies in color and 

some in grayscale, use this option and select the number of 

copies in grayscale. 

•

Color Adjust

 : You can adjust the appearance of images by 

changing the settings in the 

Levels

 option.

•

Color Matching

 : You can adjust the appearance of images by 

changing the settings in the

 option.

Advanced Options

You can set advanced settings by clicking the 

Advanced 

Options

 button. 

•

Raster Compression

: This option determines the 

compression level of images for transferring data from a 

computer to a printer. If you set this option to Maximum, the 

printing speed will be high, but the printing quality will be low. 

This feature is available only when you use the PCL 6 

printer driver.

•

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. 

This feature is available only when you use 

the PCL 6  printer driver.

- 

Download as Outline

: When this option is selected, the 

driver will download any TrueType fonts that are used in your 
document not already stored (resident) on your printer. If, 
after printing a document, you find that the fonts did not print 
correctly, choose Download as bit image and resubmit your 
print job. The Download as bit image setting is often useful 
when printing Adobe. 

This feature is available only 

when you use the PCL 6 printer driver.

- 

Download as Bitmap

: 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.

This feature is available only when you use 

the PCL 6  printer driver.

- 

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. 

This feature is available only when you use 

the PCL 6  printer driver.

•

Print all text in black

:

When the 

Print all text in black 

option

is checked, all text in your document prints solid black, 

regardless of the color it appears on the screen. 

•

Print All Text To Darken

:

When the 

Print All Text To 

Darken

 option is checked, all text in your document is allowed 

to print darker than on a normal document.

•

Grayscale Enhancement

: Press the 

Smart Color

 tab. It 

allows users to preserve the details of nature photos, and 

improve contrast and readability among grayscale colors, 

when printing color documents in grayscale. 

•

Fine Edge

: Press the 

Smart Color

 tab. It allows users to 

emphasize edges of texts and fine lines for improving 
readability and align each color channel registration in color 
printing mode.
