Imaging
Select this option if the driver receives full-color data from the application.
Black & White Adjustment
Black & White adjustment settings change the brightness and contrast of
graphics. These settings are useful if graphic images are printing too light, too
gray, or too dark. Text remains unaffected.
Adjusting Black and White Settings
You can change the brightness and contrast of graphics.
1
In Imaging > Color mode, select Black & White.
2
In the Adjustment list, select Custom.
A preview image in the Adjustment Settings dialog box illustrates any
brightness and contrast changes.
3
Drag the Brightness slider right to lighten, or left to darken the graphic images
of the print job.
The brightest setting is +100; the darkest is -100. Zero is the default mid-level
setting. Adjusting brightness allows for the customization of graphic images if
images are printing too light or too dark.
4
Drag the Contrast slider right or left to increase or decrease the proportion of
light to dark in the graphic images of the print job.
A high contrast setting decreases the grayscale spectrum, making light grays
lighter and dark grays darker. A low contrast setting increases the grayscale
spectrum, making light grays darker and dark grays lighter.
The highest contrast setting is +100; the lowest is -100. Zero is the default mid-
level setting. Adjusting contrast is useful if graphic images are printing too gray,
or too black and white. Text remains unaffected.

Click OK to save the new Black & White settings.
Text and Graphics Effects
Special settings are available for color or black and white printing.
Print text as black
This option prints all color text as black. It produces faster printing of color
print jobs by reducing the amount of data sent to the printer. In black and
white printing, it increases the detail for light-colored text printed. White text
and image colors are unaffected. Available with all of the Color mode
options.
Print grays with black toner
This option prints grayscale with black only. Full color must be selected as
the Color mode.
Continuous tone
Images are represented by a series of evenly graduated tones, as in a
photograph. Full color must be selected as the Color mode. Continuous
tone is selected automatically.
