If you prefer to set the halftoning method manually, follow these guidelines: u Use No halftoning to speed printing for text or monochrome line art. Do not use it when printing in color. u Error Diffusion is best for photographic images. It creates color by randomly distributing the dots, making edges and colors softer. It takes longer to print, but it produces the best print quality for photographic images. u Dithering A and Dithering B arrange dots in orderly patterns. The dithering method is relatively fast and is best suited for printing charts, graphs, and other images that require precise, solid areas of bright colors. Select Dithering A for images with limited detail and shading. Use Dithering B for images with significant detail but limited shading. Note: When Media Type is set to Special Coated Paper-720 dpi and Printing Mode is set to Super-720 dpi, Dithering A and Dithering B are not selectable. Printing Mode/Options Settings The Printing Mode/Options settings let you define the resolution, media type, and printing options for your document. The following table shows how these settings are related to each other and which options are available in the different modes. Installing and Using the Printer Driver 2-19
