To make clearer prints, select "Continuous Tone", and "Gloss Mode" if desired, under
the "Custom" setting.
Continuous Tone ... Printing will be accomplished with the same result as selecting the "Fine"
setting for the Tone mode.
Gloss Mode ... High-gloss printing will be accomplished.
Note: If you select the "Gloss Mode", the prints will be clear and have a glossier finish, but
printing may take as much as twice as long. In addition, because a greater amount of memory is
required to use the "Continuous Tone" option, it may be necessary to increase your memory
capacity in order to perform certain print jobs when using that option.
Color Adjustment
You can adjust the color of prints as desired. You can also register a set of adjustments as a single
custom setting.
