How do I? Steps to perform
● 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.
Manual color options
● 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.
