Print Quality
The Infoprint Color 1357 supports 2400 image quality resolution.
The Toner Darkness setting offers four user-selectable levels to balance your needs for print darkness and toner savings. The higher the value selected, the darker the print (Level 4 is the darkest setting). On the other hand, a lower number means more toner savings (Level 1 is the lightest setting). Level 4 is the default setting.
The printer offers up to 50% toner savings with a setting of "1," up to 35% toner savings with a setting of "2," and up to 20% toner savings with a setting of "3," thus reducing the cost of printing.
The Toner Darkness menu is available through the operator panel under the Print Quality menu.
