Improving Print Quality Of Solid Grey Areas - Oce 3165 User Manual

Improving print quality of solid grey areas

When a document contains large grey areas in pictures and these areas are not
homogeneous in colour (stripes), you can optically improve this by filtering
the image.
The halftone setting selects a filter which is applied to the image. The setting
allows selection of one of the 5 filters, varying from "fine" to "coarse".
The default setting is medium, which usually causes no problems with the
solidity of grey areas. The halftone setting has no effect on text.
In the Océ 3165 PostScript driver, you can change the halftone setting in both
the setup window and the print command window. In the PCL5 driver, you can
only change this setting in the setup window (see 'Customizing quality
settings' on page 91).
The halftone setting is also available on the operating panel when
manipulating a document from your mailbox.
Make one copy to test the settings. Continue with multiple copies when
