[Quality] Sheet
You can set detailed print quality settings.
[Objective]
Enables you to set a print quality mode that matches the purpose of the print data by simply selecting a setting.
[Advanced Settings] > [Advanced Settings] Dialog Box
Enables you to set print quality details such as resolution, gradation, toner amount, etc.
[Rendering Rate]
Sets the image rasterizing method for print data.
[1 BPP]
Replaces all parts other than white with black for characters and fine lines, and prints at high speed.
[1 BPP [Enhanced]]
Expresses gradation as halftones and prints at high speed. Prints characters and thin lines in black.
[24 BPP]
Takes longer to print than [1 BPP [Enhanced]], but prints higher quality.
[Resolution]
Sets the print resolution.
[Gradation]
Sets the gradation method. [High 2] uses finer gradations than [High 1] to smooth gradations.
[Halftones]
Sets dither patterns for representing halftones (areas between dark areas and light areas).
[Resolution]
Gives priority to resolution and prints contours smoothly.
[Gradation]
Gives priority to gradation and prints gradations smoothly.
[Error Diffusion]
Prints small characters and thin lines finely.
[Pattern 1] to [Pattern 6]
Applies the following halftone processing settings independently to text, graphic, and image data.
Where there are 6 patterns:
| Text | Graphics | Images |
Pattern 1 | Resolution | Resolution | Gradation |
Pattern 2 | Resolution | Gradation | Gradation |
Pattern 3 | Resolution | Gradation | Resolution |
Pattern 4 | Gradation | Resolution | Resolution |
Pattern 5 | Gradation | Resolution | Gradation |
Pattern 6 | Gradation | Gradation | Resolution |
[None [Solid]]
Prints non-white parts such as text and lines in solid black.
[Toner Save]/[Draft Mode]
Thins out the print data to save toner.
[Toner Density]
Adjusts the toner density.
[Details] > [Toner Density Details] Dialog Box
Enables you to adjust the density of each color.
[Toner Density Fine Adjustment]
Adjusts the toner density by density range. Select [On] and click [Details] to adjust the toner density for each density range.
[Advanced Smoothing]
Smooths the contours of text, lines, and images. [Smooth 2] performs stronger smoothing processing than [Smooth 1].
[Density Fine Adjustment]
Adjusts the print density for small-sized text and thin lines. This function is useful for correcting "cracks" in text and lines.
[Gray Compensation]
Prints black and gray data reliably in black and gray.
[Output Adjustment Mode]
Switches between giving priority to image quality and giving priority to speed when printing. Select [On] to prioritize image quality when printing.
[Grayscale Conversion]
Sets the method for converting color print data to grayscale.
[Use Driver Grayscale Conversion When B&W Printing]
Gives the driver grayscale conversion priority over the conversion of the application when black-and-white printing.
[Correction Processing for Reduced Graphic Details]
Performs correction to maintain print quality when reducing print data.
[Black and White Recognition in Auto Color Mode]
Select the processing method for black-and-white data when printing with [Auto [Color/B&W]] selected for [Color Mode]. This enables you to switch the precision of data detected as black-and-white, according to the selected processing method.
Mode | Target for color detection |
[Mode 1] | Text/Graphics/Indexed image |
[Mode 2] | Text/Graphics/Indexed image/Non-indexed image (24 bit RGB) |
[CanoFine]
Adjusts the contrast and color balance of images to print distinct images.
[Details] > [CanoFine Details] Dialog Box
Enables you to set the print processing method using the [CanoFine] function.
[Color Mode]
Switches between printing in color or in black-and-white. To detect automatically whether each page should be printed in color or in black-and-white, select [Auto [Color/B&W]].
[Manual Color Settings]/[Manual Grayscale Settings] > [Color Settings]/[Grayscale Settings] Dialog Box
Enables you to adjust color, brightness, contrast, and color matching.
[Color Adjustment]/[Grayscale Adjustment] Sheet
[Original]/[Preview]
Enables you to check the adjusted image.
[Increase (Color)]
Adjusts the color. Click and drag the image toward the color(s) you want to strengthen.
[Brightness]
Adjusts the brightness. Use the side bar to lighten or darken the image.
[Contrast]
Adjusts the contrast. Use the side bar to increase or decrease the contrast of the image.
[Restore Defaults]
Returns all the settings to their default values.
[Matching] Sheet
[Matching Mode]
Sets whether to perform color matching on the device side or the driver side, or whether color matching is not performed by the driver.
[Application Color Matching Priority]
Gives priority over the application settings when performing matching processing.
[Matching Method]
Sets what factor is prioritized when matching.
[Monitor Profile]
Enables you to select the setting suitable for your monitor when [Driver Matching Mode] is selected for [Matching Mode]. If several gamma values are provided for one option, to obtain better results select the higher gamma value if the printed image is lighter than that of the monitor.
[Gamma]
Enables you to adjust gamma when [Gamma Adjustment] is selected for [Matching Mode].
[About]
Displays the version of the driver.
[Restore Defaults]
Returns all the settings to their default values.
