Halftone
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.
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. 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.
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.
