Custom Setting
You can customize your settings by selecting the type of Halftone or Colour Enhance/True2Life.
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.
Colour Enhance
Selecting Colour Enhance/True2Life ON enables the True2Life feature. This feature analyzes your
image to improve quality sharpness, white balance and colour density. This process may take several
minutes depending on the size of the image, the speed and RAM memory of your computer.
Colour Enhance/True2Life ON
Adjusts the colour 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 little you will not be able to clearly see the fine details of an image.
Colour Density
This adjusts the total amount of colour in the image. You can increase or decrease the amount
of colour in an image to improve a picture which may appear 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 colour. By using this adjustment you can correct this effect
and bring the white sections back to pure white.
