Black Finish
Use this option to control the way black is printed in color
documents. Select Composite Black (CMYK) to use all 4 toner
colors to represent black. This option is recommended for color
photos. Select True Black (K) to use 100% black toner to
represent black. This option is recommended for text and business
graphics.
Brightness / Saturation
This option allows you to increase brightness for a lighter print.
Modify saturation to change the strength (or purity) of a color.
If the printed colors are too strong, reduce saturation and increase
brightness. As a general rule, reduce saturation by the same
amount as you increase brightness. For example, if you reduce
saturation by 10, increase brightness by 10 to compensate.

Media weight
Select the thickness or type of paper in the printer. It is important
to set this correctly as it affects the temperature at which the
toner is fused to the paper. For example, if you are printing on
normal Letter/A4 paper, do not select Labels as this may cause
toner smearing and paper jams.
