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. Trapping is at a medium level and adaptive halftoning is
on.
● Off turns off both trapping and adaptive halftoning.
Color Themes

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.
● Photo 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.
● Photo (AdobeRGB 1998) is for digital photos that use the
AdobeRGB color space rather than sRGB. 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 product to manage the color space.
● None 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.
