      NOTE
      Clarifications of the operation and additional explanations for the procedure are indicated at the end of this page. Reading these notes is highly recommended.

      1. Display the [Document Properties] dialog box.
      For Windows 98/Me: Display the [Document Properties] dialog box or the [Printer Properties] dialog box.

      2. Display the [Quality] sheet, then click [Details].



      3. Specify [Use Draft Mode].
      The draft mode is used to print a test page. By using the draft mode, you can reduce the toner consumption of the printer by thinning out the print data.


      IMPORTANT
      Using the draft mode may decrease print density, making printed text look patchy.

      4. Confirm the settings, then click [OK].
      The [Quality] sheet reappears.

      5. Click [OK].
