| [Resolution] | Selects the printer's resolution in dots per inch (600 dpi or 300 dpi). |
| [B & W Halftones] | Specifies the use of dithering for printing halftone data. Pattern 1: Applies dither pattern of high-quality gradient for printing Web pages or other generic documents.

None [Solid]: Prints all colors in black except for white. |
| [Enable Image Correction] | Selects [Enable Image Correction] to smooth out the streaking and coarse features that tend to occur when printing enlarged image files and photographs using a software application. |
| [Toner Save] | Modifies print data to print lighter and conserve toner. Printer Default: Prints using the settings in the operation panel of the printer. Off: Prints using normal density. On: Prints text lighter in printouts for proofreading and checking. |
Grayscale Settings
Clicking [Grayscale Settings] in the [Quality] tab sheet opens the [Grayscale Settings] dialog box. This dialog box enables you to control the brightness and contrast of images. This function is enabled only when [Manual Grayscale Setting] is selected in the [Quality] tab sheet. Two tab sheets are provided in this dialog box.
Grayscale Adjustment Tab
| [Preview] | Displays the image with the currently selected brightness and contrast reflected. |
| [Original] | Displays the original image. |
| [Brightness] | Adjusts the brightness of the preview image in the range between -5 and 5. |
| [Contrast] | Adjusts the contrast of the preview image in the range between -5 and 5. |
| [Restore Defaults] | Resets all the current settings to their default values. |
| [Matching Mode] | Specifies the procedure for color correction. Driver Matching Mode: Processes color in the printer driver. The settings specified in [Matching Method] and [Monitor Profile] will be enabled. Gamma Adjustment: Performs gamma adjustment with the gamma correction value specified in the [Gamma] box. |
| [Matching Method] | Specifies the matching method by assigning highest priority when the [Driver Matching Mode] is selected in the [Matching Mode] box. Perceptual [Monitor Color Matched]: Gives priority to matching the hue of the color on the monitor with the color of the printed output. Colorimetric: Gives priority to reducing the color difference between the original document on the screen (a logo, for example) and the printed output. Saturation: Gives priority to vividness in matching. This option can be selected only when [Driver Matching Mode] is selected in the [Matching Mode] box. |
| [Monitor Profile] | Specifies the setting suitable for your monitor when the [Driver Matching Mode] is selected in the [Matching Mode] box. In the case where several gamma values are provided for one option, select the higher gamma value to obtain better results if the printed image is lighter than that of the monitor. If the monitor is set to a custom setting, it is difficult to produce printed output similar to the color of the monitor when performing matching. |
| [Gamma] | Specifies the gamma correction value when the [Gamma Adjustment] is selected in the [Matching Mode] box. The brightness of the document printout can be adjusted without losing the brightest and darkest portion of the document. This option is useful when the printout result is brighter than the original image (for example, a photograph before scanning or graphics displayed on the monitor), or when you want to intentionally change the brightness of the output. Four gamma correction values are provided. The larger the value, the darker the printout is. 1.0 1.4 1.8 2.2 |
| [Restore Defaults] | Resets all the current settings to their default values. |
