job depending on how color data is received from the application. This feature is
available if KPDL is selected in the PDL Settings dialog box.
In Imaging > Color conversion, select from the following options:
Printer settings
Select this option to use the settings currently on the device.

Select this option if the driver receives RGB data from the application.
Quality priority
Select this option if the driver receives full-color data from the application.
Black & White adjustment settings change the brightness and contrast of
graphics. These settings are useful if graphic images are printing too light, too
gray, or too dark. Text remains unaffected.
You can change the brightness and contrast of graphics.
In Imaging > Color mode, select Black & White.
In the Adjustment list, select Custom.
A preview image in the Adjustment Settings dialog box illustrates any
brightness and contrast changes.
Drag the Brightness slider right to lighten, or left to darken the graphic images
of the print job.
The brightest setting is +100; the darkest is -100. Zero is the default mid-level
setting. Adjusting brightness allows for the customization of graphic images if
images are printing too light or too dark.
Drag the Contrast slider right or left to increase or decrease the proportion of
light to dark in the graphic images of the print job.
A high contrast setting decreases the grayscale spectrum, making light grays
lighter and dark grays darker. A low contrast setting increases the grayscale
spectrum, making light grays darker and dark grays lighter.
The highest contrast setting is +100; the lowest is -100. Zero is the default mid-
level setting. Adjusting contrast is useful if graphic images are printing too gray,
or too black and white. Text remains unaffected.
Click OK to save the new Black & White settings.
