Imaging
4
Drag the Contrast slider right or left to increase or decrease the proportion of
light to dark in the graphic images of the print job.
A high contrast setting decreases the grayscale spectrum, making light grays
lighter and dark grays darker. A low contrast setting increases the grayscale
spectrum, making light grays darker and dark grays lighter.
The highest contrast setting is +100; the lowest is -100. Zero is the default mid-
level setting. Adjusting contrast is useful if graphic images are printing too gray,
or too black and white. Text remains unaffected.

Text and Graphics Effects
Special settings are available for color or black and white printing.
Print text as black
This option prints all color text as black. It produces faster printing of color
print jobs by reducing the amount of data sent to the printer. In black & white
printing, it increases the detail for light-colored text printed. White text and
image colors are unaffected. Available with all of the Color mode options.
Continuous tone
Images are represented by a series of evenly graduated tones, as in a
photograph. Full color must be selected as the Color mode. Continuous
tone is selected automatically.
Print graphics as black
This option prints all color graphics with black, rather than grayscale. This
feature is implemented for CAD applications. Black & White must be
selected as the Color mode.
