How to Use the Direct Print Function
[Enable Exif | This setting prints Exif (Exchangeable Image File Format) |
Adjustment] | image data close to the conditions when the images were |
| taken. Images taken with digital cameras that support Exif |
| format contain embedded shooting criteria data, such as |
| exposure mode, white balance, flash on/off, and shooting |
| scene data, such as shooting modes for specific subjects. |
[Halftones] | This setting specifies how you print halftones. |
| Halftoning is used to print each process color at a different |
| intensity, allowing millions of different color to be reproduced |
| using only the four process colors. |
| Depending on the required intensity of a given color, toner is |
| placed on paper in dots of different sizes. The grid of dots |
| used for each toner color is called a screen. Halftone screens |
| are aligned to unique angles designed to eliminate interference |
| patterns called moiré (a shimmering, wavy effect) that can |
| arise with halftoning. |
| • If [Resolution] is selected, you can print text with distinct |
| outlines, which is best to print text and thin lines. |
| • If [Gradation] is selected, you can print with both smooth |
| gradation and outlines, which is best to print graphs and |
| graphics that use gradation. |
| • If [Error Diffusion] is selected, an error diffusion method that |
| gives priority to printing fine lines or text is used. This is best for |
| printing images with small text or very fine lines. |
[RGB Source | This setting allows you to specify the RGB profile (color data |
Profile] | represented using the RGB (Red Green Blue) color model) that |
| is appropriate for the characteristics of your monitor. This |
| setting is applied when printing a document containing color |
| images or graphics made by the RGB color model. |
| [sRGB] |
| This setting specifies the industry standard definition for |
| generic Windows (PC) monitors. If you are using an sRGB |
| compatible monitor, you can print out colors close to how they |
| appear on your monitor. |
| [Gamma 1.5, Gamma 1.8, and Gamma 2.4] |
| These settings enable you to select the gamma correct level of |
| the RGB data. The higher the value, the darker the printout. |
| [Download Profile] |
| This setting specifies the profiles you have downloaded from |
| the host computer to this machine using NetSpot Resource |
| Downloader. You can store up to 100 profiles. |
