Neutral Grays
The Neutral Grays setting determines the method used for creating gray colors that are
used in text, graphics, and photographs.
Two values are available for the Neutral Grays setting:
● Black Only generates neutral colors (grays and black) by using only black toner. This
guarantees that neutral colors are generated without a color cast.
● 4-Color generates neutral colors (grays and black) by combining all four toner colors.
This method produces smoother gradients and transitions to non-neutral colors, and it
produces the darkest black.
Note Some programs convert text or graphics to raster images. In these cases, the Photographs
settings also control text and graphics.
Edge Control
The Edge Control setting determines how edges are rendered. Edge control has two
components: adaptive halftoning and trapping. Adaptive halftoning increases edge
sharpness. Trapping reduces the effect of color-plane misregistration by overlapping the
edges of adjacent objects slightly.
Four levels of edge control are available:
● Maximum is the most aggressive trapping setting. Adaptive halftoning is on for this
setting.
● Normal is the default trapping setting. Trapping is at a medium level, and adaptive
halftoning is on.
● Light sets trapping at a minimal level, and adaptive halftoning is on.
● Off turns off both trapping and adaptive halftoning.
RGB Color
Three values are available for the RGB Color setting:
● Default instructs the MFP to interpret RGB color as sRGB. sRGB is the accepted
standard of Microsoft and the World Wide Web Consortium (www).
● Device instructs the MFP to print RGB data in raw device mode. In order to render
photographs properly with this selection, you must manage image color in the program
or operating system.
● Vivid instructs the MFP to increase the color saturation in the midtones. Less colorful
objects are rendered more colorfully. This value is recommended for printing business
graphics.
Matching colors
The process of matching output color to your computer screen is quite complex because
MFPs and computer monitors use different methods of producing color. Monitors display
colors by light pixels using an RGB (red, green, blue) color process, but MFPs print colors
using a CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black) process.
