Improving the Print Quality

You can adjust a variety of features to enhance the quality of your
printouts with the printer. First, you can use the Kyocera Image
Refinement (KIR), a software algorithm designed to increase the quality of
your printouts. Also, activating the EcoPrint printing mode reduces toner
consumption during printing. Finally, you can adjust the printing
resolution and density.
KIR (Kyocera Image Refinement)

function. KIR uses software to enhance resolution, resulting in high-
quality printing at resolution of 600 dpi and 300 dpi. The default is On.
