Halftones


[Error Diffusion (600dpi Only)]: [On], [Off]*
[Text]: [Resolution]*, [Gradation]
[Graphics]: [Resolution], [Gradation]*
[Image]: [Resolution], [Gradation]*

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

[Error Diffusion (600dpi Only)]

If you set this to [On], [Text], [Graphics], and [Image] are all set to [Error Diffusion (600dpi Only)] and [Resolution] and [Gradation] cannot be selected.
If you set this to [Off], [Text], [Graphics], and [Image] are not set to [Error Diffusion (600dpi Only)] and [Resolution] and [Gradation] can be selected.
This mode is suitable for printing data with text and thin lines and the curved lines of CAD data, etc.
NOTE
The stability of the texture and fixed toner may be reduced when this mode is used.

[Resolution]

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.

[Gradation]

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.
