<Note> The adjustment results are reflected in "Detail" of the Halftone options and "Line Art" of the Image Quality Type options of the printer driver, and will subsequently apply to all printouts that use the changed setting. (For instance, if the values for [05] code for PCL and Detail are changed, they will be applied to printing performed with PCL5c and Halftone = "Detail" (or "Auto") selected.) Carefully perform the adjustment, being aware that the image quality of all future printouts will be changed, when printing out originals other than the one that is used for the adjustment.
Note that this adjustment has no impact when "Smooth" is selected in the "Halftone" options, or when any one of "General," "Photo" and "Presentation" is selected in the "Image Quality Type" options and "Auto" is selected in the "Halftone" options.
