When you are manually selecting the imaging mode, the graphics
to the right of the modes will change according to your selection.
Halftone Features
Halftoning utilizes minute gray dots to represent a light or dark
image area. The options are as follows.
•
Optimize for laser print output (Fine)
Uses 16-bit gray patterns to provide a smoother gradation of
greasy (120 gray levels). Printing in this mode will be slower,
but the print quality will be better.
•
Optimize for laser print output (Standard)
Uses 8-bit gray patterns. This option provides fewer gray
levels (63 gray levels) but it provides better performance than
Fine mode.
•
Optimize for photocopy reproduction
Uses an 8-bit circular halftone dot method to print your images.
This option provides 63 gray levels and aims to produce output
which photocopies well without washing out or producing moiré
patterns.
The default value is Optimize for laser print output (Fine).
Color smoothing speeds up printing by substituting two dithered
colors with a gray level. This may take a little more time but the
overall printing performance is better. The default value is On.
If the fine details of a graphic (especially screenshots) look smeared
when printed, uncheck Color smoothing.
Darkness
Allows you to lighten or darken gray tone.
