Advanced settings CAUTION Print modes This section is intended for advanced users only. Improperly setting print modes can damage the printer. When you select a media type, you are, in effect, instructing the printer to use a group of printer settings (such as fuser temperature, print speed, and color table) to create the best possible print quality. This group of settings is known as a mode or print mode, and a different print mode is associated with each media type. These associations are set at the factory, but it is possible for you to associate a media type with a different print mode. Table 6. Print modes Type Default print mode Any type.
