Neutral Grays
The Neutral Grays setting determines the method for
creating gray colors used in text, graphics, and
photographs.
●
The Black Only option 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.
●
The 4-Color option 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.
●
The Maximum option is the most aggressive trapping setting.
Adaptive halftoning is on.
●
The Normal option sets trapping at a medium level. Adaptive
halftoning is on.
●
The Light option sets trapping at a minimal level, Adaptive
halftoning is on.
●
The Off option turns off both trapping and adaptive halftoning.
