If you want to print JPEG or TIFF files, you can select halftone printing modes to optimize images.
[Resolution]:
A dither pattern that gives priority to the resolution of the images is used. This helps eliminate the appearance of jagged or uneven lines along the edges of objects and is best for printing standard text and graphics.
[Gradation]:
A dither pattern that gives priority to the appearance of smooth changes in tone is used. This is best for reproducing images with delicate gradations or changes of tone.
[Error Diffusion]:
This mode uses an error diffusion method that is excellent for fine expressions such as text and thin lines.
It enables you to print in even finer detail than the [Resolution] mode. You may however experience a slight drop in the integrity of the image quality. It is suited for printing small characters and fine lines in particular.

IMPORTANT
For information on the modes which cannot be set in combination with this mode, see "Unavailable Combination of Functions."
