Imaging

[Quality]

[600dpi], [1200dpi]

Selects a resolution.

• When [1200dpi] is selected, the image quality increases. However, printing may take longer.

[Fixed Screen]

[Image], [Text/Graphics]

The quality adjustments (*) set from the control panel of the main body can be reflected to each of [Image] and [Text/Graphics].

• If the screen name set from the control panel of the main body is inconsistent, click the [Acquire Device Information] under the [Configure] tab to update the information.

• When [Stochastic] is selected, the settings for both [Image] and [Text/Graphics] will be the same.

[Custom Screen]

[Dot Shape], [Screen Frequency], [Screen Angle]

Select [Dot Shape] to set the shape of a print dot. For details about dot shape, refer to the printer driver help.

Select [Screen Frequency] to set the number of halftone dots per inch. The unit is lpi (line per inch). Although the resolution increases as the number is larger, the quality of gradation becomes poorer. The default setting is 120 lpi. Select [Screen Angle] to set the angle against the vertical axis of each color to prevent moire.

Moire may occur when the same screen angle is set for all the colors. Therefore, the angles are initially set as follows:

[Cyan]: 15.0°

[Magenta]: 75.0°

[Yellow]: 0.0°

[Black]: 45.0°

[Thinning]

Off, On

Select this check box to control the boldness of the text or line images. This setting also has an effect on outline text. This setting is available when [Fixed Screen] is selected.

[Smoothing]

Off, On

When turned on, you can smoothly print the outline of text with density of 100%, such as K=100%, and line images. The smoothing function is applied only to the part of primary colors (C, M, Y, or K). It is not applied to the area with mixed colors. The [Smoothing] setting is available when [Fixed Screen] is selected.

[Color Text Blur Prevention]

Off, On

When turned on, the color text toner is controlled and the scattering of toner is reduced. This setting is available when [Fixed Screen] is selected.

[Halftone Text Enhancement]

Off, On

When turned on, the outline of text in gray and figures are printed sharply. This setting is available when [Fixed Screen] is selected.

[Auto Trapping]

Off, On

Select this check box to reduce white space generated due to misregistration. This setting is available when [Fixed Screen] is selected.

[Object]

[Text/Graphics], [Text/Graphics/Image]

Select the type of [Object] when any setting of [Outline Process] has been set.

[1 Dot Line Emphasis]

Off, On

Turn [1 Dot Line Emphasis] on to emphasis an ultrafine line.

[Use CIE Color]

Off, On

This setting is available when [Gray Scale] is specified for the printing color. When [Use CIE Color] is turned on, the printing is processed via the color space defined by CIE, an international commission on illumination. Although the quality in reproducing the gradation will be better than usual, it may require more time to print.
