Graphics
In the Graphics options, the Neutral Grays drop-down menu controls the selection of a device-dependent color table that is embedded in the printer firmware. The options are Black Only or 4-Color. You can adjust the Neutral Grays setting independently for text, graphics, or photographs.
•
Black Only. This option generates neutral colors (grays and blacks) using only black toner, which ensures that neutral colors do not have a color cast.
•
4-Color. This option generates neutral colors by combining all four colors of toner, which produces smoother gradients and transitions to non-neutral colors. It also produces the darkest possible black.
In the Graphics options. the Halftone drop-down menu controls the selection of a device-dependent halftone algorithm that is embedded in the printer firmware. The Halftone options, Text and Detail, affect the resolution and clarity of your color output. You can independently adjust halftone settings for text, graphics, and photos.
•
Detail. This option is optimized for the best reproduction of normal to small text and graphics that require sharp distinctions among lines or colors. Choose this option when the sharp edges of small objects, especially those that contain secondary colors (such as red, green, and blue), are the top priority.
•
Smooth. This option is optimized for the best reproduction of images, graphics, and large, solid-filled print ares. It also enhances photographs by smoothing out fine color gradations. Choose this option when the color fidelity of large objects is the top priority.
In the Graphics options, the RGB Color drop-down menu controls the color treatment for object types and determines how colors are rendered. The options are Default (sRGB), Device, and Vivid.
•
Default (sRGB). This option interprets RGB color as standard default RGB color space (sRGB), which is the accepted standard for many software companies and organizations such as Microsoft and the Worldwide Web
Consortium.
•
Device. This option sets the printer to print RGB data in the raw device mode. To render photographs properly when this option is selected, you must manage color in the software program in which you are working or in the operating system.
•
Vivid. This option sets the printer to increase the color saturation in the midtones. Less colorful objects are rendered more colorfully. This value is recommended for printing business graphics.
Photographs
In the Photographs options, the Neutral Grays drop-down menu controls the selection of a device-dependent color table that is embedded in the printer firmware. The options are Black Only or 4-Color. You can adjust the Neutral
Grays setting independently for text, graphics, or photographs.
