[Resolution]
|
This setting specifies the resolution for printing.
Resolution is expressed in units of dpi (dots per inch), indicating the number of dots in one inch. The higher the value, the greater the resolution, allowing finer expression of detail. If [600 dpi] is selected, you can perform printing suited to general documents and tables.
If [1200 dpi] is selected, characters and lines can be finely printed.
|
|
[Gradation]
|
This setting specifies the resolution for printing.
If [Halftones] is set to [Error Diffusion], this setting is disabled.
If you select [Standard], two-color (1 bit/pixel) gradation is used for printing.
If you select [High 1], four-color (2 bit/pixel) gradation is used for
printing. If you select [High 2], 16-color (4 bit/pixel) gradation is used for printing.
If [1200 dpi] is set for [Resolution], only [Standard] can be selected. If [600 dpi] is set for [Resolution], only [High 1] or [High 2] can be selected.
|
|
[Halftones]
|
You can set how to express color halftones.
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.
[Gradation]/[Resolution] cannot be set in combination with [Error Diffusion] when selecting the halftone mode.
[Resolution] uses a dither pattern with a high number of lines to prioritize the resolution. This is suited for printing regular text and graphics, as jagged edges do not stand out.
[Gradation] uses a dither pattern that prioritizes the gradation. This is suited for smoothly reproducing subtle gradations.
[Error Diffusion] 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.
|
|
[Advanced Smoothing]
|
This setting smoothes jagged outlines of graphics (illustrations created by application software) and characters.
[Level2] performs a higher level of smoothing than [Level1]. If [Level1] is selected and the results are still not printed smoothly, select [Level2].
By selecting for 'Apply to Graphics' and 'Apply to Text', you can select whether to apply smoothing to graphics or text data.
This setting allows you to apply smoothing to graphics data and text data. Smoothing is not applied to image data.
'Apply to Graphics' and 'Apply to Text' can only be selected when [Level1] or [Level2] is selected for Advanced Smoothing.
When [Resolution] is set to [1200 dpi] and [Halftones] is set to [Error Diffusion], this function is disabled.
The results of Advanced Smoothing may differ depending on the characters and graphics patterns.
|
|
[Color Mode]
|
This setting enables you to set the color mode you want to specify when printing.
If [Auto (Color/Black & White)] is selected, the machine automatically detects whether the page is reproduced using black (K) only or all four colors: cyan (C), magenta (M), yellow (Y), and black (K).
If [Black & White] is selected, data is printed in black (K) only, even if the original is in color.
|
|
[RGB Source Profile]

|
[Use Grayscale Profile]
|
You can convert device dependent gray data into CMYK data by using the Grayscale Profile of the machine. However, the data may be reproduced using only the black (K) toner, depending upon the Pure Black Text or Output Profile.
|
|
[Pure Black Text]
|
This setting affects the printout for black (R=G=B=0% or C=M=Y=100%/Bk=N%) text on a page. Under most circumstances it is preferable to leave this option selected. If you enable this option, black colors generated by applications are printed using only 100% black toner. This means that the color toner will not be misaligned since only one toner color (black) is used.
|
|
[Black Overprint]
|
This setting allows you to choose a specific way to print black text when printing black text over a color background or graphics. If you enable this option, you can overprint black text. When this setting is used in combination with the Pure Black Text option, the machine first prints the full color background, then lays the black text on the top of the color background as 100% K (black) toner. Overprinting also reduces misalignment of colors and a halo effect that can appear around the edge of the text.
|
|
[Perform Composite Overprinting]
|
You can overprint device-dependent CMYK data as composite output. All colors used for data are overlaid and printed on one plate so you can check the finished result without separating the colors.
|
|
