Toner Saver What Off On Why When Enhances the quality of printed text by smoothing the edges of individual characters. • You need the best possible quality for text and business graphics. • You value quality over economy. Reduces toner consumption without markedly affecting the quality of the printed output. • You want to conserve your supply of toner and reduce printing costs. • You're printing drafts or review copies that don't require fully saturated colors. • Your jobs consist largely of text and graphics, which are affected the least by setting Toner Saver On. Printing color and mono jobs Maximum Speed (paper path for color and mono pages) Black Yellow Cyan Magenta You can choose whether your printer handles all pages as if they contain color, or adjusts mechanically when it recognizes a mono page-one which requires black toner only. The adjustment for mono jobs significantly slows overall printing time, but also extends the life of printer supplies. If you're interested in conserving printer supplies and reducing the overall cost of printing, you may want to change the Printer Usage setting in the Setup Menu to Maximum Yield. When shipped from the factory, your printer is designed to deliver the fastest possible printing of all jobs: color and mono. When the Printer Usage menu item is set to the default, Maximum Speed, the printer does not make any mechanical adjustments when it detects mono pages. Although it lays only black toner on the page, it does not remove the color print units from the paper path. This results in fast throughput, but at the cost of some wear on the color photoconductors and the developer rolls within the color toner cartridges. Transport belt Printing color and mono jobs 63
