To prevent this memory error, the printer driver automatically reduces the resolution to 300 dpi or less and for successful printing Environment-Friendly Economy Printing Mode This feature will save your printing cost by saving toner. It is useful to obtain draft copies for proof-reading. You can select from two economy modes, 25% toner saving and 50% toner saving, through the Windows printer driver supplied with your printer. Sleep Mode Sleep mode automatically reduces power consumption when the printer is not in use. The printer consumes less than 7W when in sleep mode. The time-out for auto sleep mode can be set through the Windows printer driver. Low Running Cost Since the toner cartridge is separate from the Drum Unit, you need to replace only the toner cartridge after around 2,200 pages printed, which is cost effective and ecologically friendly.

User-Friendly Operation for Windows The dedicated printer driver and TrueType™-compatible fonts for Microsoft® Windows 3.1 and Windows 95 are available on the floppy disk supplied with your printer. You can easily install them into your Windows system using our installer program. The driver supports our unique compression mode to enhance printing speed in Windows applications and allows you to set various printer settings including toner saving mode, custom paper size, sleep mode settings, gray scale adjustment, resolution, and so forth. You can easily set these print options through the Printer Setup Menu within the Windows Control Panel. Printer Status Monitor with Bi-directional Parallel Interface The printer driver can monitor your printer's status using bi-directional parallel communications. The printer status monitor program can show the current status of your printer. When printing, the animated dialog box appears on your computer screen to show the current printing process.

For example: when your printer is out of paper, the dialog box will display "Paper Empty" and instructions for the proper corrective action.
