10.1 XOA Print Quality Control

Monochrome printers support the Execute Order Any State (XOA) Print Quality Control command. This
command specifies the print quality at which jobs will be printed on monochrome printers. Specifying
lower print quality levels can save toner. Color printers ignore the Print Quality Control command when it
is received. The following table gives the Quality Level value range.
The Toner Saver option in the IPDS MENU affects the processing of this command. See Toner Saver on
page 23 for more information.
