Fast printing
This setting increases print speed and decreases spool size. It delivers
images in binary format. It can be used for most everyday printing needs.

can be edited.
Halftone Screen lets an experienced user print different shades of gray as are
found in photographs. Shades are produced by printing dots of various sizes
and shapes, and by spacing them closer or farther apart. Shading can also be
adjusted by the number of rows of data, the angle of the rows, and the shape of
the data.
Halftone Screen is available when KPDL is selected as the PDL. It is
unavailable if GDI compatible mode is selected in the PDL Settings dialog
box.
