Custom Print Quality Settings
You can select one or more Custom Quality Settings:
• Resolution
• Kyocera Image Refinement
• EcoPrint
These settings can extend the life of toner cartridges by adjusting print resolution to
reduce the amount of toner used.
Note: The availability of EcoPrint on color printers depends on the printer model and
PDL (Page Description Language). For further details on changing the page
description language, refer to PDL Settings on page 2-6. For some color printer
models, Kyocera Image Refinement KIR is only available for monochrome printing.
Fonts
The Fonts feature lets you specify how TrueType fonts are sent to the printing
system. The chosen method will affect the speed and quality of the print job.
Custom
Option Description
Resolution (monochrome
printers only)
The number of dots printed in one inch. At higher
resolutions more detail appears in the print job.
Select Fast 1200 mode, 600 dpi, or 300 dpi. Printer
models FS-1800, FS-1800+, and FS-3800 support
Fine 1200 mode.
Kyocera Image
Refinement (KIR)
Smoothes the outlines of text and vector graphics.
For color printers, this option is only available when
printing in monochrome mode.
EcoPrint Reduces the amount of toner placed on the printed
page, and extends the life of the toner cartridge,
making EcoPrint both economical and ecological.
Because toner saturation is reduced, the text and
graphics appear lighter in the print job. EcoPrint
does not increase print speed. For some color
models, the EcoPrint options are: Off, 75%, or 50%.
