Printing
Print Colors As
Use this menu to choose whether to output your document in full
color, grayscale, or black and white.
Full Color:
In this mode, documents are printed in full color.
Grayscale:
When this option is selected, color objects are printed as
different levels of gray using the dithering method selected.
Black & White:
Select this option for black and white output. This
mode is faster when printing text documents.
8 Colors:
This mode is faster than full color, but output is limited to
8 colors: black, white, blue, cyan, green, magenta, red and yellow.
This option will appear dimmed if your computer does not support
this feature.
Dithering
Dithering is the process used to select the pattern of dots that make
up a particular color or shade of gray. Select the method best suited
to your output requirements. This option is available when either
Grayscale or Full Color is selected in the Print Colors As menu.
Pattern:
Select this option if you are printing
graphics from drawing packages or business graphics
with uniform color regions such as blocks, graphs, or
lines.
Pattern dither uses a regular dot pattern to create
different shades of color when printing. Pattern dither
is fast and produces output of good quality, especially
if printing large regions of a single color.
Halftone:
Select Halftone dithering if you are
printing in grayscale output.
Halftone dithering uses a 45° screen pattern
similar to that used by PostScript laser printers.
Halftoning is as fast as Pattern dithering, and it
tends to work better for grayscale rather than color
documents. Use halftone dithering if pattern dithering
produces noticeable geometric patterns or banded output.
