USING THE PRINTER WITH YOUR SOFTWARE
Ordered Dither:
This method uses the standard Windows dithering patterns. It works similarly
to Bayer Dithering, but is NOT tuned for inkjet print technology.
Screening:
This method represents different intensities of colors by using a pattern of
variable size dots. This technique is similar to the method used in rastering
newspaper images. Use this method for printing scanned images or bitmaps.
If you need to photocopy your printout, this method will produce the best
results.
Error Diffusion:
This method represents different intensities of colors by using random pixels
with distributed errors. It lets you obtain printouts of 16.7 million different
colors or 256 shades of gray-- using only four different ink colors. Unlike
Ordered Dithering or Bayer Dithering, no regular patterns are visible. Use
this method for printing scanned images or bitmaps with the highest quality
halftoning quality possible.
Intensity Control:
The Intensity Control controls the mix of colors sent to the printer. The default
setting will produce the best output for the currently select print media for the
majority needs. To lighten the colors move to the left, to darken to the right.

When you move your mouse cursor over certain items, a short help message
concerning the item is shown in the context sensitive help box in the bottom
of the window.
OK Button:
