Neutral Grays

The Neutral Grays setting determines the method for creating gray colors that are used in
text, graphics, and photographs.

Black Only generates neutral colors (grays and black) by using only black toner. This
option guarantees that neutral colors do not have a color cast.

4-Color generates neutral colors by combining all four colors of toner. This option
produces smoother gradients and transitions to non-neutral colors. It also produces the
darkest possible black.

Edge Control

The Edge Control setting determines how edges are rendered. Edge Control consists of
two components: Adaptive Halftoning and Trapping. Adaptive Halftoning increases the edge
sharpness. Trapping reduces the effect of color-plane misregistration by slightly overlapping
the edges of adjacent objects. The following levels of edge control are available:

Maximum provides the most trapping. Adaptive Halftoning is set to On.

Normal provides the default trapping settings. Adaptive Halftoning is set to On.

Light provides minimal trapping. Adaptive Halftoning is set to On.

Off sets Trapping and Adaptive Halftoning to Off.

RGB Color

The RGB Color option determines how colors are rendered.

Default interprets RGB color as sRGB, which is the accepted standard for many
software companies and organizations, such as Microsoft and the World Wide Web
Consortium. (See

http://www.w3.org

.)

Vivid instructs the printer to increase the color saturation in the midtones. Less colorful
objects are rendered more colorfully. This value is recommended for printing business
graphics.

Device sets the printer to print RGB data in raw device mode. To render photographs
properly when this option is selected, you must manage color in the program in which
you are working or in the operating system.
