PRINTER DRIVER SETTINGS
Custom Setting
You can customize your settings by selecting the type of Halftone or True 2
Life.
Halftone Pattern
The MFC can use several methods to arrange where to place dots to express
halftones. There are some predefined patterns used to place dots and you can
select which one is used for your document. Select the appropriate method.
■ Photo
This method creates smooth halftones so that this is suitable for photographic
images. It takes more time to process data, but this can express more levels of
halftones and creates more natural images.
■ Cluster
This is suitable for business graphics such as charts, graphs and drawings, since
this creates more sharp printouts. Moreover, the processing time is shorter.
True2Life
■ True2Life ON
Adjusts the color in the image for better print quality. Print time will be longer
with True2Life set to ON.
■ Sharpness
This setting enhances the detail of an image. This is similar to adjusting the fine
focus on a camera. If the focus is off a small amount you can not clearly, see
the fine details of an image.
■ Color Density
This adjusts the total amount of color in the image. You can increase or decrease
the amount of color in an image to improve a picture which may appears washed
out or weak.
■ White Balance
This adjusts the hue of the white sections of an image. Lighting, camera settings
and other influences will effect the appearance of white. The white parts of a
picture may appear to be slightly pink, yellow or some other color. By using
this adjustment you can correct this effect and bring the white sections back to
pure white.
■ Brightness
Change the brightness of the whole image lighter or darker. Moving the scroll
bar to the left makes your image darker and moving the scroll bar to the right
makes your image lighter.
■ Contrast
Change the contrast of an image. Darker sections will be more dark and lighter
sections will be more light as you increase the contrast. Increase the contrast
