BLACK OVERPRINT

SETUP Menu Settings
ON*, OFF
Specifies the printing method for text in black (R=G=B=0%, C=M=Y=100%/
Bk=N%, or C=M=Y=0%/Bk=100%). Usually, it is recommended to leave this item
set to ON.
If ON is specified, you can print black color created by an application, using only
the black (Bk) toner. Since only the black (Bk) toner is used to print black text, the
color (CMY) toner will not be misaligned around the text.

PURE BLACK TEXT: ON
If OFF is specified, the black text is printed based on the selected setting for
OUTPUT PROFILE (See p. 5-87). Depending on the jobs to be printed, it may be
preferable to specify OFF for this item.

NOTE
If RENDER CL SPACE (See p. 5-85) is set to AUTO, this item may be applied also
to gray text.
ON*, OFF
Specifies the printing method for when the printer prints black text over a color
background or graphics.
If ON is specified, the printer prints black text over a color background. If this
option is used with PURE BLACK TEXT, the printer prints all the background first,
and then prints the text over the color background using only the black (Bk) toner.
This alleviates the phenomenon in which the outlines of the printed black text are
rimmed with white.
