Safety During Operation In this manual, the following important symbols are used: R WARNING: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if instructions are not followed, could result in death or serious injury. R CAUTION: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if instructions are not fol- lowed, may result in minor or moderate injury or damage to property. - Page 11 R WARNING: • Connect the power cord directly into a wall outlet and never use an ex- tension cord. • Disconnect the power plug (by pulling the plug, not the cable) if the power cable or plug becomes frayed or otherwise damaged. •...

Page 14: Color Guide
Color Guide Color Printing Basics Additive (Emitted) and Subtractive (Reflected) Color Models All light is a mixture of red, green, and blue, which is normally called the RGB model. When red, green, and blue are of equal intensities, the RGB color model produces white. - Page 15 Note CMY is also called subtractive or reflective color. Your printer uses CMY ton- er plus K (black) toner (CMYK color model) to provide full color printing. The colors of the RGB color model can be mixed to produce the cyan, magenta, and yellow of the CMY color model and vice versa.
- Page 16 Printed Color Your printer produces full-color output using four toner colors: cyan, magenta, yellow, and black. These four colors make up the CMYK color model. Note Mixing CMY in equal proportions should hypothetically produce pure black, but imperfections in the ink cause an equal measure of these colors to produce a muddy or dark brown.
- Page 17 Resolution Resolution is the number of dots the printer can print within one inch. Resolu- tion is expressed in units of dpi, which stands for dots per inch. The higher the resolution, the better the quality of the printed image.
- Page 18 Edge Smoothing Edge Smoothing is a technique used for improving the print quality of text and graphics. Indentations in curved lines are automatically smoothed to produce a clearer appearance. Limitation Printing photographs or images containing gradations may result in a change in image quality with Edge Smoothing on.
- Page 19 Toner Saving Turning on Toner Saving reduces the amount of toner used for printing. This set- ting does not help to improve printout quality, but instead is used when printing preliminary drafts of a document. Limitation Turning on the Toner Saving can cause output to become blurred and result in very thin lines not printing at all.
- Page 20 Image Printing This setting lets you select the resolution for printing of image data. Standard All image data with a resolution greater than 300 dpi is printed at 300 dpi. Fast All image data with a resolution greater than 150 dpi is printed at 150 dpi. This increases printing speed, but can make image data appear rough.
- Page 21 The colors produced by the printer do not exactly match those you see on your monitor. This is because the computer uses the emitted color model (RGB) while the printer uses the reflected color model (CMYK).
- Page 22 Photographic This setting enhances midtone colors similar to those seen in photographs. Color Level Use to set the number of colors used per dot. ( [2 bit] uses a greater number of colors than [1 bit] ) 1 bit 2 bit...
- Page 23 Brightness This setting controls the overall brightness of the image. Moving the slider to the plus (+) side increases brightness, while moving it to the minus (-) side decreases brightness. Contrast This setting controls the range between the darkest and lightest shade of an im- age.
- Page 24 Color Balance These settings let you control the relative intensity of the individual colors of the additive color model (red, green, blue). Note The position of the color bar also affects the complementary color relation- ship. Red, for example, is printed using magenta and yellow toner, so increas- ing the level of red also decreases the level of cyan.
- Page 25 Manuals for Your Printer There are two manuals that describe the procedures separately for the installa- tion of your printer and for the operation and maintenance of your printer and its optional equipment. To enhance safe and efficient operation of your printer, all users should read and follow the instructions contained in the following manuals.
