Smoothes the outlines of text and vector graphics. For
color printers, this option is only available when
printing in monochrome mode.
EcoPrint
Reduces the amount of toner placed on the printed
page, and extends the life of the toner cartridge,
making EcoPrint both economical and ecological.
Because toner saturation is reduced, the text and
graphics appear lighter in the print job. EcoPrint does
not increase print speed. For some color models, the
EcoPrint options are:
Off
,
75%
, or
50%
