Soft Error; Spot Function (Enhanced Screening And Dot Shape) - Xante FilmMaker 4 User Manual

Soft Error

Soft Error alerts you that the printer requires attention. Examples are low toner and
low paper messages.
Set Soft Error using the front panel Utility: Soft Error configuration menu. Yes, the
factory default, enables this feature; No disables it.
While soft error messages are helpful, occasionally some software misinterprets the
messages. If you run into problems with particular software, try disabling this feature.

Spot Function (Enhanced Screening and Dot Shape)

The Spot Function feature controls both Enhanced Screen and dot shape options.
XANTÉ's Enhanced Screening Technology allows you to increase the number of levels
of gray produced for a line screen setting. Shape options allow you to select the shape
of dots that make up the screen pattern for printing the calibration and verification
pages.
Shape options include Line, Round, and Ellipse. If you select one of these shapes in
the Spot Function menu, the correct Enhanced Screen level of gray is activated
automatically. However, you can set enhanced screening without selecting a screen
shape.
Set Enhanced Screening from the Graphic: Spot Function configuration menu or the
Print dialog box Enhanced Screens menu. Normal, the factory default, uses the line
screen set in your application. Enhanced Screening options are 145 Gray Levels, 197
Gray Levels, and 256 Gray Levels. The following chart lists the line screen setting for
each option at different resolutions.
