Halftone
Halftone options affect the color output resolution
and clarity.
●
Smooth (2-bits/pixel) provides better results for large, solid-filled
print areas and enhances photographs by smoothing color
gradations. Select this option when uniform and smooth area fills
are the top priority.
◦
Cyan – 155 lines per inch (lpi)
◦
Magenta – 155 lpi
◦
Yellow – 212 lpi
◦
Black – 155 lpi
●
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.
◦
Cyan – 190 lpi
◦
Magenta – 190 lpi
◦
Yellow – 200 lpi
◦
Black – 212 lpi
Neutral Grays
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.
●
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.
Edge Control
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.
Print in Grayscale
The Print in Grayscale option converts all colors to gray and forces the product to use only the black
print cartridge.
