Saving Toner

Printing is possible with less toner.

The amount of toner can be saved in three levels.

  • [Printer setting]: Conforms to the printer setting.

  • [Off]: Prints at a normal density without saving toner.

  • [Save Level Low]: Prints at a somewhat lower density level.

  • [Save Level Middle]: Prints at a low density.

  • [Save Level High]: Prints at a very low density.

Note

If using this function, only [Normal (600x600)] or [Fast (600x600)] can be specified as the print quality.
