See your Xerox Representative for advice.
Correcting Posterization (when scanning or copying)
Obvious "stair-stepping," or sudden shifts in tones, rather than smooth transitions in areas of tonal
gradation (see left half of figure), is called Posterization. It results because of a lack of available gray
levels. The number of gray levels is determined by the number of dots in a halftone cell.
To correct posterization
If you are copying or scanning a halftoned or photographic image, and getting posterized output, try
the following:
1. On the Home Screen, click Copy.
2. On the Image Quality tab, click the Original Type button and make sure Mixed Text and Graphics
is not selected.
3. If satisfied with settings, click the Copy button.
Other options include:
• Scan at a higher resolution.
• Select a Original Mode with low contrast.
• Use the Contrast Control to lower the contrast.
For more details about posterization, see About Posterization and Gray Levels.

About Posterization and Gray Levels
The number of dots in a halftone spot determine the number of available gray levels. For example, a
four by four dot halftone cell will yield 17 gray levels (multiply 4 x 4 = 16, + 1 for either all dots on [black]
or all dots off [white]). A 16 x 16 dot halftone cell will yield 257 gray levels (multiply 16 x 16 = 256, + 1
for either all dots on or all dots off).
