Halftone Pattern – The MFC can use several methods of arranging where dots are placed on the
paper to express halftones. You can select what predefined pattern is used for your document.
Photo
This method creates smooth halftones is suitable for photographic images. It takes more time to
process the data, but this selection can express more levels of halftones and creates more natural
images.
Cluster
This is suitable for business graphics such as charts, graphs and drawings. This selection creates
sharper printouts and has a shorter processing time.
Auto
If you selected Plain Paper and the print resolution is less than Fine Quality, Auto works as Cluster.
If you select another media type or a higher resolution, Auto works as Photo.

*4 Printer Features

Fast Draft Mode – This mode prints using both black and cyan ink offering a faster print speed then
mono draft mode.
Bi-directional Print – When Bi-Directional Print is set to ON, the print head prints in both directions
and offers faster print speeds. When OFF is selected, the print head prints in one direction only and
provides higher print quality.
If you selected Plain Paper, Auto works in Bi-Directional Print mode.
Paper Thickness – Depending on the thickness of the paper you are using, you can improve the
quality of your output by selecting the correct thickness. This setting provides the best positioning
of the paper for printing. For example if you were printing on thin paper, you would select Thin in
the Paper Thickness selection to achieve the best paper handling and improved output for that paper
type.
