1. Render Mode - Click on this list box to set the Render Mode for color
printers to color or grayscale. For monochrome printers, grayscale is the
only valid option.
2. Print Quality Mode - In general, the more bi-directional passes that the
printer makes to create the image, the higher quality the output will be, but
the longer it will take to produce it. The FAST selection is a single pass bi-
directional printing using RACER Technology, NORMAL is 2-pass bi-
directional printing, and BEST is 4-pass bi-directional printing.
3. Document Type - Click on this list box to set the Document Type to
autoselect, graphics, photo, or lines & text.
4. Contrast - Use this list box to adjust the contrast by specifying an integer
from -10 to +10. A value of "0" means that no contrast adjustment is
applied. Increasingly negative values reduce the contrast of the rendered
image, while increasingly positive values increase the contrast of the
rendered image.
5. Lightness - Specify the lightness adjustment in this list box. A value of
zero means that no lightness adjustment is applied. Increasingly negative
values reduce the lightness of the rendered image, which darkens the
image. Increasingly positive values increases the lightness of the rendered
image, which further lightens the image.
6. Raster Halftone - This parameter allows the selection of the binarization
method used on multibit raster images. The Halftone Screen option offers
faster printing than Error Diffusion, but may produce prints with a grainy
appearance. The Error Diffusion setting generally produces a smoother
print image.
7. Vector Halftone - This parameter sets the method to use when
processing halftone images. Select Area Fill for best reproduction of large
polygon fills. Select Line Optimized to accentuate fine lines, especially
those drawn in filled areas. The factory default setting is Area Fill.
8. Fineline Grayscale Rendering - Select either Contone or Black as the
parameter to specify how fine lines should be rendered when the Render
Mode is set to Grayscale. In Grayscale Render Mode, fine lines that are
drawn in a light luminance color, such as yellow, will appear very light if
this parameter is set to Contone. Setting this parameter to Black will cause
these lines to appear as black.
9. Fineline Pixel Threshold - This parameter specifies the maximum line
width that will be processed as a fine line. The range is 1 - 25.
10. Press the Update Printer button to update the default rendering
parameters in the printer.
