# Print Quality Functions

Print quality and color tone can be adjusted to suit the print data. Some of the print quality settings you can configure are described below.

Changing the image printing method

You can select to print with priority on print quality or print speed. When printing images, the higher the resolution of images, the longer the time required for printing.

Changing the graphics mode

You can send graphic information to the machine as either all raster or a mixture of vector and raster images. Most geometric shapes or patterns print faster as vector images than as raster images. However, if certain graphics do not print as they appear on the screen, try to print them as raster images.

Saving toner when printing

You can save toner by printing with lower toner consumption. While this increases the life of the print cartridge, the output appears slightly lighter.

Changing the printable area

You can change the printable area when printing a document printed on a single page with one machine is printed on two separate pages with another machine, or vice-versa.

Changing the method of downloading TrueType fonts to the machine

When you print documents that contain characters in TrueType fonts, garbled or distorted characters may be printed. Changing the method of downloading TrueType fonts may help to solve the problem.

Changing the dither pattern

A dither pattern is a pattern of dots used to simulate a color or shade of an image. If the pattern is changed, the characteristics of the image will also change. You can select a pattern suitable for the image to be printed.

- Some of the functions described above might not be available depending on the printer driver or operating system. For details, see the printer driver Help.
