Setting Print Quality
You can make the following settings to enhance the print quality: Kyocera
Image Refinement (KIR), a software algorithm for increasing printout
quality; EcoPrint, a printing mode that reduces toner consumption during
printing; printing resolution; and Adjustment of Print Density.
KIR (Kyocera Image Refinement) Mode
This printer incorporates the KIR (Kyocera Image Refinement) smoothing
function. At a resolution of 600 dpi this function provides high print quality
by providing software enhanced print resolution.
NOTE: Set the print density to 3 when setting the KIR mode. For details
on print density, refer to page 2-61. You can monitor the KIR test pattern,
the last line on a status page, to make the optimum KIR mode setting.
Look at the check line, the last line on a status page, to make the optimum
KIR mode setting.
Optimized stripes
The current KIR setting is optimal.
Dark vertical stripes
Set the KIR mode to Off. Try printing the
status page again. If you still get dark
vertical stripes, adjust the print density
control to a lighter setting.
