Ink Specifies Color (CMYK) or Monochrome printing. CMYK refers to the printer's colored inks: cyan (blue-green), magenta, yellow, and black (K). These colors are combined to form any of 16 million colors. Select Color (CMYK) only if you have installed the optional Color Upgrade Kit and your document includes color. When you select Monochrome, the printer prints only black ink. If you are printing a color image and Monochrome is selected, the printer converts color data to grayscale values. Note: When Automatic is selected as the document type, the ink option is not available. To select an ink option, choose a document type other than Automatic. Halftoning Settings You achieve the best halftoning results when you let the printer driver's Document Type setting select the appropriate halftone method. If you selected the Automatic document type option, the driver selects the halftone setting appropriate to each page as it prints. If you selected one of the other document types, the driver selects a predefined halftone setting. If you change a predefined halftone setting, the driver erases the currently selected Document Type option and uses the halftone setting you selected. Note: It is recommended that you set halftoning in the driver rather than setting the halftone or dithering options in your software application. 2-18 Installing and Using the Printer Driver
