To Print Other Data Types
Set [Error Diffusion] to [Off] and specify the respective halftone reproduction method in [Resolution/Gradation]. This can be set separately for text, graphics (lines or figures), and images (photos).
Specify [Resolution] for high-resolution printing where text outlines are clear. Suitable for printing data with text and fine lines.
Specify [Gradation] for smooth printing of tones and outlines. Suitable for printing data such as figures that use gradations.
