Dither Settings
If you want to change the gradation pattern of a printed image, specify the dither settings.
If you select the proper setting value for printing, you can make printed images with both smooth gradation and outlines.
The dither settings can be selected for each of the following:

Resolution
You can select [Gradation], [Resolution], or [Error Diffusion] independently for texts, graphics, and images for the halftone settings of the printer. This mode enables you to select the setting value when you select [Resolution] as the halftone setting. For instructions on setting halftone of the printer, see "Halftones."
