Menu Administration/Emulations/PostScript/Gamma Correction
Choices No—Disables gamma correction
Yes—Enables gamma correction, which adjusts the range of
gray levels to give you the best possible image. Gamma
correction sharpens overall mid-range contrast while blacks
(shadows) and white (highlights) keep their original values.
You can use this option to correct gray-scale problems or to
accentuate detail for scanned images.
Default No
Notes Gamma correction is automatically adjusted when printer
resolution is changed. However, gamma correction has no
effect on files printed at 1200x1200 dpi resolution. In addition,
gamma correction applies only to PostScript images.
If turning on gamma correction doesn’t yield a suitable gray-
scale image for your needs, set a specific gamma correction
value through your drawing application or through the
PostScript settransfer operator. (See your drawing application
documentation and the
PostScript Language Reference
Manual
for more information.)

or 71 dpi for 600x600 resolution.
Advanced—Variable dot placement according to the grayscale
within the image. Generally, this option provides smoother
transitions between grayscales within the image.
