General
Use the General setting group to control the Edge Control, Halftone, and RGB settings for all color
printing.
Edge Control
Edge Control determines how edges are rendered. Edge Control consists of these components:
Adaptive Halftoning and Trapping. Adaptive Halftoning increases the edge sharpness. Trapping reduces
the effect of color-plane misregistration by slightly overlapping the edges of adjacent objects.
The Edge Control option offers four settings:
■ Off. The Off setting turns off Trapping and Adaptive Halftoning.
■ Light. The Light setting provides minimal trapping. Adaptive Halftoning is set to On .
■ Normal. The Normal setting provides the default trapping settings. Adaptive Halftoning is set to
On.
■ Maximum. The Maximum setting provides the most trapping. Adaptive Halftoning is set to On.
Halftone
The Halftone setting controls the selection of a device-dependent halftone algorithm that is embedded
in the printer firmware. The Halftone options, Smooth and Detail, affect the resolution and clarity of
your color output.
■ Smooth. This option provides better results for large, solid-filled print areas. It also enhances
photographs by smoothing out fine color gradations. Select this option for uniform and smooth area
fills.
■ Cyan - 134 lines per inch (lpi)
■ Magenta - 134 lpi
■ Yellow - 150 lpi
■ Black - 141 lpi
■ Detail. This option is useful for text and graphics that require sharp distinctions among lines or
colors, or for images that contain a pattern or high level of detail. Select this option for sharp edges
and detail.
■ Cyan - 166 lpi
■ Magenta - 166 lpi
■ Yellow - 150 lpi
■ Black - 166 lpi
