Descriptions under [Quality] Tab (Settings)Descriptions of Settings
[Rendering Rate]
Enables you to set the image rasterizing method for converting color documents to grayscale documents.
[1 BPP]
Replaces all parts other than white with black for characters and fine lines, and prints at high speed.
[1 BPP [Enhanced]]
Expresses gray gradation as halftones and prints at high speed.
[24 BPP]
Takes longer to print than [1 BPP] and [1 BPP [Enhanced]], but prints very high quality documents.
[Application Color Matching Priority]
Sets whether color matching is performed by the application. If colors are not printed as expected, changing the setting may improve the print result.
[Off]
Color matching is performed at the printer.
[On]
Color matching is performed by the application.
[Print Colored Data in Black]
Prints letter (text) and line (graphics) halftone data so that all data other than white is printed as black with any grayscale gradations.
This function is useful when you want to print thin or pale letters and lines so that they are easy to see.
[Off]
Prints halftone data as grayscale.
[On]
Prints all letter (text) and line (graphics) halftone data other than white as black.
|
Image data is printed as grayscale.
This function is only available when you set [Color Mode] as [Black and White].
|
[Accelerated Image Processing]
Enables you to specify the extent of high speed processing to be used. However, higher processing speeds can lead to loss of printing quality.
[Gray Compensation]
Enables you to reliably print gray and black data (R=G=B) in gray or black.
[Gamma Adjustment]
Enables you to adjust the brightness of the print result so that the brightest parts and darkest parts of the document are not lost. You can use this function when the printed result is brighter than the original image (a photograph prior to scanning, graphics created on a computer as displayed on a monitor, etc.), or when you want to change the brightness of the printed result.
[Adjust Toner Volume Used for Color Printing]
By adjusting the amount of toner when printing in color, you can prevent too much toner being used and inhibit the following printing faults.
Toner spattering on dark areas of images
Afterimages of dark text or lines
Toner fixing errors in low temperature environments
Darkening when images printed on transparencies are projected
Bleed-through when copying 2-sided originals
[Printer Default]
Uses the printer setting.
[Off]
Print with the normal amount of toner.
[Level 1]
Slightly adjusts (reduces) the amount of toner in areas of strong color when printing.
[Level 2]
Adjusts (reduces) the amount of toner overall when printing.
[Use Driver Grayscale Conversion When B&W Printing]
If [Black and White] is selected for [Color Mode] in the [Basic Settings]/[Quality] sheet, printing is performed giving the printer driver grayscale conversion priority over the conversion of the application. Using this function, you can improve the image quality when printing color images in black and white.
