dots of varying colors. This has the opposite effect of the Finest
Detail setting.
A version of the ESC/P (Epson Standard Code for Printers)
command language, which gives you control of your printer
from your computer. Commands in this language produce
enhanced graphics printing.
This setting automatically makes your printed images sharper
and clearer. This has the opposite effect of the Error Diffusion
setting. Be aware that this may increase the time required for
printing.

The range of colors that a device (such as a printer or monitor)
can accurately reproduce.
A scale of shades of gray from black to white. Grayscale is used
to represent colors when printing with black ink only.

Halftoning makes it possible to produce varying shades of gray
using only black dots, or a nearly infinite array of colors using
only a few colors of dots.

are formed by precisely spraying ink onto paper.
The connection between the computer and a peripheral such as
a printer. Some printers have two interfaces, parallel and serial.
