Halftones

Halftone Types

Your printer provides three different options for halftones—basic, standard, and advanced. The number of gray levels increases by increasing the halftone type setting and the printer resolution.

»Note: The default for this menu is Standard. The standard settings are optimized for performance. The advanced settings are optimized for quality.
