2. Binary Processing (photo mode)
In photo mode, image data is subjected to screen processing, enabling 256 gradations while
still using binary image data. The flow of processing is as shown in Figure 4-311.
As many as 4 x 8 pixels are treated as a single unit, and pixels are distributed into 256 patterns
according to the mode of density distribution. The units of 4 x 8 pixels are divided so that the pixels
in question are arranged at 45°, forming a screen pattern.
