Specifying the color and image quality

Selecting colors for printing ([Select Color:])

In [Select Color:] in [Quality], select a color mode for printing.

Selecting the optimum color representation for the original ([Color Settings:])

Preventing the generation of white space around images ([Auto Trapping]/[Black Over Print:])

The generation of white space on the boundary between different colors or around characters is prevented.
