General Use the General setting group to control Edge Control settings for all color printing. Edge Control determines how edges are rendered. Edge Control consists of three components: ● Adaptive Halftoning, which increases edge sharpness ● Trapping, which reduces the effect of color plane misregistration by slightly overlapping the edges of adjacent objects ● 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. Neutral Grays The Neutral Grays drop-down menu controls the selection of a device-dependent color table that is embedded in the product firmware. You can adjust the Neutral Grays setting independently for text, graphics, or photographs. The following options are available: ● 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. 4-Color is the default setting for Photographs. Halftone 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 the appearance of many 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. 114 Chapter 4 HP PCL 6 print driver for Windows ENWW
