Brightness
Decreasing the brightness makes the printed image darker and increasing it makes the printed image fainter.
Decrease the value to make the printed image darker and increase it to make the printed image fainter.
If you increase the value too much, overexposure of bright areas may occur.
If you decrease the value too much, underexposure of dark areas may occur
Can be specified using the PCL/PS drivers.
Contrast
Increasing the contrast makes bright areas brighter and dark areas darker.
Decreasing the contrast makes bright areas darker and dark areas brighter.
Increase the value to make the printed image clearer and decrease it to prevent overexposure of bright areas and underexposure of dark areas.
If you increase the value too much, overexposure of bright areas and underexposure of dark areas may occur.
If you decrease the value too much, the printed image may become unclear.
Can be specified using the PCL/PS drivers.

Saturation
Increasing the saturation makes the printed image more vivid.
Decreasing the saturation makes the printed image closer to the neutral color (gray).
If you increase the value too much, it may lower the gradation, resulting in a difficulty to distinguish colors.
The printer’s color gamut is limited, so even if you increase the value, it may not make any difference.
Can be specified using the PCL driver only.
