Prevents overlapping at the border line between text or graphics and the background color as well as unprinted sections along the outlines of text. If [Details] is displayed, adjust the trapping content.
[Trapping Width]
Specifies the width of trapping.
[Trapping Density]
Specifies the density of trapping.
[Adjust Toner Volume Used for Color Printing]
Suppresses an over-supply of toner by adjusting the toner amount during color printing.
[Sharpen Text]
Prints white text and lines on a black background clearly.
[Increase Line Density]
Makes pale-colored thin lines and text easier to see.
Set this when gray lines are interrupted.
[Advanced Settings]
Sets print quality options.
[Gray Compensation]
Reliably prints black and gray data for text (characters) and graphics (lines/figures) as black and gray.
[Prioritize Printing of Colored Lines and Text]
Processes color lines and text so that they do not blur.
[Composite Overprint]
Recreates overprint attributes specified by the application as they are.
[Spot Color Matching]
Recreates special colors specified by the application.
[Dot Gain Adjustment]
Adjusts the surface area covered by dots and adjusts the density of fill.
As the numerical value increases, the density of fill increases.
[Color Mode]
Switches between printing in color or in black-and-white.
[Output at Color Printing Speed]
To increase the printing speed, prints mixed color and black-and-white page data at color print speed.
[Number of Colors Settings]
Switches between full color printing and two color printing. If you select [Two Colors], select [Color to Use with Black].
[Color Settings]
Adjusts color, brightness, contrast, or color matching.
[Color Settings] Dialog
[Color Adjustment]
Sets brightness and contrast.
[Preview]
Displays the image after color adjustment as a sample image.
[Original]
Displays the image before color adjustment as a sample image.
[Adjusted Position]
Displays what stage of adjustment color highlighting is at, with the color tone of the image prior to adjustment as "X = 0, Y = 0".
The strength of colors is adjusted using the icons indicating each color or by dragging the image over the coordinates.
[Brightness]
Adjust the brightness by moving the slider.
[Contrast]
Adjust the contrast by moving the slider.
[Matching]
Sets a matching method for color adjustment.
[Matching Mode]
Select whether to embed and use the monitor profile or use the driver profile.
