Printing in the toner save mode

Print in the toner save mode.

The amount of toner to be saved can be set in 3 levels.

  • [Printer Setting]: Follows the device settings.
  • [OFF]: Prints at normal density without saving toner.
  • [Save Level Low]: Prints at a slightly lighter density.
  • [Save Level Middle]: Prints at a light density.
  • [Save Level High]: Prints at a considerably light density.

  • The density of the image printed using this function varies with the print data.
  • If you do not want to reduce the printing density for 100% black, check [Do not save 100% black toner].
  • The amount of toner to be saved can also be set from the operator panel of this machine. Set the amount of toner to be saved in [Admin Setup] - [Print Setup] - [Toner Save] - [Toner Save Level]. However, the setting of the printer driver takes priority.
  • The default setting of the printer driver is [Printer Setting].
