If you find that you are not getting correct grays on
your printout from an application, turn the Color
Document checkbox on.
If performance when rendering complex graphics is
either very slow, or yields unsatisfactory output,
try toggling this setting.
With each of these checkboxes selected, your
printer gives you accurate grays even if it has to
dither them. You will get exactly what you ask for.
However, small dithered text is difficult to read,
and fine dithered lines appear dashed instead of
solid. With these options off, your printer maps text
and lines to the nearest gray. For black & white
output, grays that are darker than about 50% map
to black; lighter grays map to white. For color,
colors map to the nearest gray.
When an application sends a bitmap fill pattern
(also called 'pattern brush') to the printer, the
expected, standard size is 8 pixels square. Some
applications are able to send larger patterns. If the
Large Bitmap Pattern checkbox is selected, you
encounter output where your bitmap fills have
repeating pattern anomalies in them, try to turn the
checkbox off.
Your printer has a process that automatically
enlarges the bitmap fill patterns so that the output
more closely matches the screen. For example, with
the default setting '0', patterns that come from a
VGA system (96x96 logical pixels per inch) are
enlarged three times to (almost) match the 300x300
dpi of a laser printer. If you set the scale to '1', your
printer can handle the brush patterns exactly as
they come from the application's scaling. You can
also force your printer to scale by 2, 3, 4, or more
times by entering larger numbers.
