Two values are available for the Neutral Grays setting:

●Black Only generates neutral colors (grays and black) using only black toner. This guarantees neutrals colors without a color cast.

●4-Colorgenerates neutral colors (grays and black) by combining all four toner colors. This method produces smoother gradients and transitions to non-neutral colors, and it produces the darkest black.

Edge Control. The Edge Control setting determines how edges are rendered. Edge control has two components: adaptive halftoning and trapping. Adaptive halftoning increases edge sharpness. Trapping reduces the effect of color plane misregistration by overlapping the edges of adjacent objects slightly.

Four levels of edge control are available:

●Maximum is the most aggressive trapping setting. Adaptive halftoning is on for this setting.

●Normal is the default trapping setting. Trapping is at a medium level and adaptive halftoning is on.

●Light sets trapping at a minimal level, and adaptive halftoning is on.

●Off turns off both trapping and adaptive halftoning.

RGB Color. Two values are available for the RGB Color setting:

●Default instructs the printer to interpret RGB color as sRGB. sRGB is the accepted standard of Microsoft and the World Wide Web Organization (www).

●Device instructs the printer to print RGB data in raw device mode. To render photographs properly with this selection, you must manage image color in the application or operating system.
