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.

Memo

  • The density of the image that is printed with this function may vary depending on the printed document.

  • If you want to keep the density of the 100% black toner, check [Do not save 100% black toner].

  • Toner saving can be set on the operator panel of the printer. Set the toner saving amount from [Admin Setup] > [Print Setup] > [Toner Save] > [Toner Save Level]. However, the settings made on the printer driver are always given priority.

  • The default setting on the printer driver is [Printer Setting].
