Edge control Edge Control determines how a document's edges are rendered. Edge Control consists of three components: Adaptive Halftoning, which increases the sharpness of the edge; Trapping, which reduces the effect of color plan misregistration by slightly overlapping the edges of adjacent objects; and Color Resolution Enhancement technology (C-REt), which increases the apparent resolution by placing each dot for the smoothest edges. The Edge Control option offers four settings: ● Off. The Off setting turns Trapping, Adaptive Halftoning, and C-REt to Off. ● Light. The Light setting provides minimal trapping. Adaptive Halftoning is set to On and C-REt is set to On. ● Normal. The Normal setting provides the default trapping settings. Adaptive Halftoning is set to On, and C-REt is set to On. ● Maximum. The Maximum setting provides the most trapping. Adaptive Halftoning is set to On, and C-REt is set to On. Half tone The Halftone setting controls the selection of a product-dependent halftone algorithm that is embedded in the product firmware. Halftoning is a method by which the product mixes the four primary colors (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black) in varying proportions to create millions of colors. The Halftone options affect the resolution and clarity of the color on the printed page. You can select Halftone settings for text, graphics, and photographs independently. The following Halftone options are available: ● Detail. This is the default option. It is useful for text and graphics that require sharp distinctions among lines or colors, or for images that contain a pattern or a high level of detail. Choose this option for sharp edges and detail. ● Smooth. This option provides better results for large, solid-filled print areas. It also enhances photographs by smoothing out fine color gradations. Choose this option for uniform and smooth area fills. Text, Graphics, Photographs Use the Text, Graphics, and Photographs settings groups to control the Neutral Grays settings for color printing. Neutral Grays The Neutral Grays drop-down menu controls the selection of a printer-dependent color table that is embedded in the product 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 black) by using only black toner. This option guarantees that neutral colors do not have a color cast. Black Only is the default setting for the Text and Graphics components. ● 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. The default setting for Photographs is 4-Color. 204 Chapter 4 HP PCL 6 and universal printer-driver for Windows ENWW

Edge control

Edge Control

determines how a document's edges are rendered.

Edge Control

consists of three

components: Adaptive Halftoning, which increases the sharpness of the edge; Trapping, which reduces

the effect of color plan misregistration by slightly overlapping the edges of adjacent objects; and Color

Resolution Enhancement technology (C-REt), which increases the apparent resolution by placing each

dot for the smoothest edges.

The

Edge Control

option offers four settings:

●

Off

. The

Off

setting turns Trapping, Adaptive Halftoning, and C-REt to

Off

●

Light

. The

Light

setting provides minimal trapping. Adaptive Halftoning is set to

and C-REt is

set to

●

Normal

. The

Normal

setting provides the default trapping settings. Adaptive Halftoning is set to

, and C-REt is set to

●

Maximum

. The

Maximum

setting provides the most trapping. Adaptive Halftoning is set to

and C-REt is set to

Half tone

The

Halftone

setting controls the selection of a product-dependent halftone algorithm that is embedded

in the product firmware. Halftoning is a method by which the product mixes the four primary colors (cyan,

magenta, yellow, and black) in varying proportions to create millions of colors. The

Halftone

options

affect the resolution and clarity of the color on the printed page. You can select

Halftone

settings for

text, graphics, and photographs independently.

The following Halftone options are available:

●

Detail

. This is the default option. It is useful for text and graphics that require sharp distinctions

among lines or colors, or for images that contain a pattern or a high level of detail. Choose this

option for sharp edges and detail.

●

Smooth

. This option provides better results for large, solid-filled print areas. It also enhances

photographs by smoothing out fine color gradations. Choose this option for uniform and smooth

area fills.

Text, Graphics, Photographs

Use the

Text

Graphics

, and

Photographs

settings groups to control the

Neutral Grays

settings for

color printing.

Neutral Grays

The

Neutral Grays

drop-down menu controls the selection of a printer-dependent color table that is

embedded in the product firmware. The options are

Black Only

4-Color

. You can adjust the

Neutral

Grays

setting independently for text, graphics, or photographs.

●

Black Only

. This option generates neutral colors (grays and black) by using only black toner. This

option guarantees that neutral colors do not have a color cast.

Black Only

is the default setting for

the

Text

and

Graphics

components.

●

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. The default setting for

Photographs

4-Color
