Halftones

[Text]: [Color Tone], [Resolution]*, [Gradation], [High Resolution]

[Graphics]: [Color Tone]*, [Resolution], [Gradation], [High Resolution]

[Image]: [Color Tone]*, [Resolution], [Gradation], [High Resolution]

This setting specifies how to express halftones.
Settings can be applied separately for text, graphics, and image data.

You can print with sharp gradation and well-balanced texture, contrasting light and shade, which is best for printing images.

A dither pattern that gives priority to the resolution of the images is used. This helps eliminate the appearance of jagged or uneven lines along the edges of objects and is best for printing standard text and graphics.

A dither pattern that gives priority to the appearance of smooth changes in tone is used. This is best for reproducing images with delicate gradations or changes of tone.

Finer printing can be done than with [Resolution], although toner stability is somewhat weaker. This is suited to printing small characters and fine lines, and outlines (such as from CAD data) sharply.
