Imaging Grayscale Option Description Print graphics as black Prints all colors as black. This feature works for vector graphics only, and is most useful for CAD applications. Readability is improved for CAD blueprints because different colored objects print more clearly. Grayscale adjustment settings let you change the Brightness and Contrast of graphics for monochrome printers. This feature is also available on color printer models when the monochrome option is selected. Grayscale adjustment settings are useful if graphic images are printing too light, too gray, or too dark. Text remains unaffected. 1 Click Adjustment to open the Adjustment Settings dialog box. 1 A preview image in the dialog box illustrates any brightness and contrast changes. 2 Drag the Brightness slider right to lighten, or left to darken the graphic images of the print job. 2 You can also change brightness by entering a numeric value in the text box at the right. The brightest setting is +100; the darkest is -100. Zero is the default mid-level setting. Adjusting brightness is useful when graphic images are printing too dark or too light. Text remains unaffected. 3 Drag the Contrast slider right or left to increase or decrease proportion of light to dark in the graphic images of the print job. 3 A high contrast setting decreases the grayscale spectrum, making light grays lighter and dark grays darker. A low contrast setting increases the grayscale spectrum, making light grays darker and dark grays lighter. You can also change contrast by entering a numeric value in the text box at the right. The highest contrast setting is +100; the lowest is -100. Zero is the default mid-level setting. Adjusting contrast is useful if graphic images are printing too gray, or too black and white. Text remains unaffected. User Guide 6-8
