Tone Mode

Note
The Tone Mode selects the way the printer handles a pixel for representing the color and
halftoning for each pixel — Normal or Fine. The Fine tone mode uses four-bit smooth halftone
for photographs, image, etc.; and the Normal tone mode uses a one-bit halftone for text, solid
objects, etc. Either of these tone modes consistently affects all objects on a page.
The Fine tone mode provides the print quality better than Normal, but the printing speed is
slower and more memory is required. A summary of memory requirement depending on the
tone mode follows:
