Manual color options
●
Halftone options affect the color output resolution and clarity.
● Smooth provides better results for large, solid-lled print areas and enhances
photographs by smoothing color gradations. Select this option when uniform
and smooth area lls are the top priority.
● Detail is useful for text and graphics that require sharp distinctions among lines
or colors, or images that contain a pattern or a high level of detail. Select this
option when sharp edges and details are the top priority.
●
The Neutral Grays setting determines the method for creating gray colors
used in text, graphics, and photographs.
● Black Only generates neutral colors (grays and black) by using only black
toner. This guarantees neutral colors without a color cast. This setting is best for
documents and grayscale viewgraphs.
● 4-Color generates neutral colors (grays and black) by combining all four toner
colors. This method produces smoother gradients and transitions to other
colors, and it produces the darkest black.
●
The Edge Control setting determines how edges are rendered.
Edge control has two components: adaptive halftoning and trapping.
Adaptive halftoning increases edge sharpness. Trapping reduces the
effect of color-plane misregistration by overlapping the edges of adjacent
objects slightly.
● Maximum is the most aggressive trapping setting. Adaptive halftoning is on.
● Normal sets trapping at a medium level. Adaptive halftoning is on.
● Light sets trapping at a minimal level, Adaptive halftoning is on.
● Off turns off both trapping and adaptive halftoning.
