Setting description

Setting options

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 is the default trapping setting. Trapping is at a medium
level and adaptive halftoning is on.

Light sets trapping at a minimal level, and adaptive halftoning is
on.

Off turns off both trapping and adaptive halftoning.

RGB Color

Default (sRGB) instructs the printer to interpret RGB color as
sRGB. The sRGB standard is the accepted standard of Microsoft
and the World Wide Web Consortium (

http://www.w3.org

).

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

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

AdobeRGB (1998) is for documents that use the AdobeRGB color
space rather than sRGB. For example, some digital cameras
capture images in AdobeRGB, and documents that are produced
with Adobe PhotoShop use the AdobeRGB color space. When
printing from a professional software program that uses
AdobeRGB, it is important that you turn off the color management
in the software program and allow the printer to manage the color
space.

Photo Image interprets RGB color as if it were printed as a
photograph using a digital mini-lab. It renders deeper, more
saturated colors differently than Default mode. Use this setting for
printing photos.

Restricting color printing

The printer includes a Restrict color setting. Administrators can use the setting to restrict user access
to the color printing features in order to conserve color toner. If you are unable to print in color, see your
network administrator.
