The PostScript menu allows you to select halftone type and intensity.

Halftone Type

These options allow you to customize the smoothness of the printed image according to the number of grayscales it uses. The number of gray levels increases by increasing the halftone type and the printer resolution.

See the "Halftones," section in chapter 5, “Additional Technical Infor- mation,” for more detailed information on halftones and how to change their characteristics via the printer configuration menu.

Intensity

Menu Administration/Emulations/PostScript/Intensity

Choices Darkest, Darker, Nominal, Lighter, Lightest

Notes Intensity uses the PostScript settransfer operator’s functionality to make the print lighter or darker while maintaining the linearity of the grayscale.
