The brightness of printing can be adjusted to not lose the brightest and darkest
portions of the original data. For example, this setting is made when the printout is
brighter than the original image (original photograph before being scanned,
graphics created on a monitor, etc.) or when wanting to change the brightness
before printing. The higher the value, the darker the printout. [1.4] is the value for
an uncorrected (default) state.
Settings can be applied separately for text, graphics, and image data.
NOTE
This setting is only applied if 'CMS(Matching)/Gamma' is set to [Gamma].

This setting smooths jagged outlines of graphics (illustrations created by
application software) and characters.
[Smooth 2] performs a higher level of smoothing than [Smooth 1]. If [Smooth 1] is
selected and the results are still not printed smoothly, select [Smooth 2].
By switching the on/off for 'Graphics' and 'Text', you can select whether to apply
smoothing to graphics or text data.
IMPORTANT
This setting allows you to apply smoothing to graphics data and text data.
Smoothing is not applied to image data.
The setting for 'Text' is invalid if 'Resolution' is set to [1200 dpi].
NOTE
'Graphics' and 'Text' can only be selected when [Smooth 1] or [Smooth 2] is
selected for Advanced Smoothing.
Settings for 'Graphics' and 'Text' on the touch panel display will be effective only if
'Printer Default' is set for Advanced Smoothing in the printer driver.
The results of Advanced Smoothing may differ depending on the characters and
graphics patterns.
