Black Finish
Use this option to control the way black is printed in color 
documents. Select Composite Black (CMYK) to use all 4 toner 
colors to represent black. This option is recommended for color 
photos. Select True Black (K) to use 100% black toner to 
represent black. This option is recommended for text and business 
graphics.
Brightness / Saturation
This option allows you to increase brightness for a lighter print. 
Modify saturation to change the strength (or purity) of a color.
If the printed colors are too strong, reduce saturation and increase 
brightness. As a general rule, reduce saturation by the same 
amount as you increase brightness. For example, if you reduce 
saturation by 10, increase brightness by 10 to compensate.

to set this correctly as it affects the temperature at which the

toner smearing and paper jams.
