Halftones

[Text]: [Gradation], [Resolution]*, [High Resolution]
[Graphics]: [Gradation], [Resolution]*, [High Resolution]
[Image]: [Gradation], [Resolution]*, [High Resolution]

You can set how to express halftones in black and white data.
Print data is expressed in dots. Fine gradations, edges, and shades are expressed by using dither patterns, which are groups of dots. This is called halftone processing.
For example, using a pattern that sharpens character and line edges, or a pattern that smoothens image and graph gradation, enables you to obtain the most suitable texture.
[Gradation]
You can print with both smooth gradation and outlines, which is best to print graphs and graphics that use gradation.
[Resolution]
You can print text with distinct outlines, which is best to print text and thin lines.
[High Resolution]
Finer printing can be done than with [Resolution], although toner stability is somewhat weaker. This is suited to printing small characters and fine lines, and outlines (such as from CAD data) sharply.
