setting, the sharper the clarity of printed characters and graphics.
If your print jobs are mostly text, select
600 dpi for the highest quality output. Select
1200 Image Q (1200 Image Quality) when your job contains bitmapped images, such as

Use the Toner Darkness menu item to lighten or darken the image appearance in your print
jobs and get the most from your toner supply.
If you want finer line width, higher definition in graphics, and lighter gray-scale images, set
Toner Darkness to 6 or 7.
If you want a bolder line width, emphasis in graphics, or darker gray-scale images, set
Toner Darkness to 9 or 10. Use the 10 value to emphasize line width, produce the boldest text,
and the darkest images.
If you want to help conserve the printer toner supply, use the
1 to 5 values.
