Set the Ink Intensity (Mac OS 9.x)

The Intensity setting controls the amount of ink placed on the paper.  The higher the intensity the darker (more ink) the printed image will be.  If the Intensity setting is set too high, the printed page may become too wet and curl or streak. Follow the instructions below to adjust the ink intensity settings in the Mac OS 9.x operating system.

After confirming that the cable is connected and the printer is powered on, perform the following to adjust the ink intensity.

1. Select 'Print', or 'Print Desktop' from the 'File' menu. 
   
   
   
   
2. In the 'Print Mode' drop-down menu, select 'Manual'. 
   
   
   
   
3. Click the 'Details' button. 
   
   
   
   
4. In the Detailed Setting dialog box, select 'Color'. 
   
   
   
   
5. Adjust the intensity, moving the 'Intensity' slide bar.
   
   
   
   Note:  Move the slide bar to the right to deepen the intensity. Move the slider bar to the left to lighten the intensity. 
   
   
6. When the setting is finished, click 'OK'.
