IMAGE............COLOR TONE*, HIGH RESOL., RESOLUTION, GRADATION
This setting specifies how to express halftones in black and white data.
Print data is expressed in dots. Fine gradations, edges, and shades are
expressed by using dither patterns, which are groups of dots. This is called
halftone processing.
For example, using a pattern that sharpens character and line edges, or a pattern
that smoothens image and graph gradation, enables you to obtain the most
suitable texture.
If RESOLUTION is selected, you can print text with distinct outlines, which is best
to print text and thin lines.
If GRADATION is selected, you can print with both smooth gradation and outlines,
which is best to print graphs and graphics that use gradation.
If COLOR TONE is selected, you can print with sharp gradation and well-balanced
texture, contrasting light and shade, which is best for printing images.
If HIGH RESOL. is selected, 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.
QUALITY CHANGE
CONT.PRINTING*, STOP PRINTING
Specifies whether the printer should continue printing with the image quality level
being lowered automatically or stop printing, displaying the following error
message when the memory required for the process runs out.
If CONT.PRINTING is specified, the printer prints with the image quality level
being lowered automatically without displaying a message.
Error Message Setting
<38 LOW IMGE QLTY>
When the printer receives a large amount of data or
complicated data, the memory required for the
process may run out, and the printer may print with
the image quality level being lowered automatically.
Specify whether the printer should display an error
message when the printer is in this status.
