|
| Halftone options affect the color output resolution and clarity.
|
|
| ●
|
| Smooth 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.
|
|
| ●
|
| 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.
