Selecting the rendering algorithm

You can use Mapping Mode to specify which qualities are the
most important to preserve, since some information is lost in
mapping from a three-dimensional color application (such as
RGB) to a two-dimensional color application provided with
highlight color printing.
The following mapping mode options are available:
• Use Printer Default
This option overrides job settings and uses printer default
settings.
• Monochrome
This option specifies black and white printing only.
• Pictorial
This option is for use with photographic images. It uses
luminance information to map full color to highlight colors.
The color portions of an image that are the same color as the
specified extraction color are printed in a shade of the
highlight color.
• Presentation
This option is for use with presentation graphics. It uses hue
information to map full color to highlight colors. Any color
element in the graphic is printed in a shade of highlight color.
Non-color elements (black, white and gray) are printed in
black, white and shades of gray. This option distinguishes
between different colors and is a good choice for charts and
diagrams because they typically use distinctly different
colors.
• Automatic
This option chooses a mapping method on an object-by-
object basis. For example, this option applies the pictorial
mapping for pictures and the presentation mapping for other
objects (filled areas, strokes, and text).
• ColorToHighlight
This option discards the hue information and preserves the
saturation and value of the color application.
• Color Tables
This option uses preset color tables to perform the mapping.
It is provided for compatibility and has no effect with cyan.
