Phaser printers. Refer to the User Guide or Reference Guide for a list of features that may be
selected using the printer driver, Control Panel, and CentreWare IS. This section describes the

Speed & Quality
The printer's Print-Quality Mode establishes the maximum print speed and resolution.This topic describes
the two PCL Print-Quality Modes and four PostScript Print-Quality Modes for Phaser 8400, 8500, and 8550
printers. Recommended uses for each of the PostScript Print-Quality Modes are provided below:
Fast Color - Fastest full-color mode, useful for many images, rapidly producing review
documents, previewing work, and rush jobs.
Standard - General-purpose mode for full-color printing. Produces crisp, bright prints at high
speed. Recommended for vibrant, saturated color prints.
Enhanced - Best mode for business presentations. Produces superior text resolution and smooth
color transitions. Enhanced is the factory default.
