Dither
Dithering is a technique for reproducing halftone images, such as a
photo, in binary mode.
Two pixel levels are used to represent the entire grayscale, thereby
reducing the levels of gray required displaying an image. Using a
dithering pattern requires less memory than using a grayscale mode.
Choose a dithering method in the Dither drop-down list box: None,
Bayer Dither 64 (64 steps), Bayer Dither 16 (16 steps), 45 degree
Halftone, 0 degree Halftone, Error Diffusion, and User Download.
Original Bayer Dither 64 Bayer Dither 16
45 deg. Halftone 0 deg. Halftone Error Diffusion
NOTE: You can specify a *.PXH file that uses a different dither pattern.
To do this, choose “User Download” in the
Dither
drop-down
list box. Click on the
