Setting Graphic Properties

Graphic Mode

Configure the printer to process graphics as raster or vector

images. Setting this option tells Windows how to send graphic

 

 

images to the printer. All graphics can be printed as raster

 

images, however some geometric shapes or patterns print

 

faster if they are printed as vector graphics.

 

Vector – The Vector mode represents a graphic as point,

 

lines and other geometric entities. If you select the

 

Vector setting, Windows will send graphics to the

 

printer as a mixture of vector and raster images.

 

Raster – The Raster mode represents a graphic as a mix of

 

dots. When you select the Raster setting, Windows

 

will send all graphics to the printer as bit map

 

raster images.

Halftoning

What is Halftone?

Gray-scale objects (such as photographs) whose gray dots have been converted to a pattern of groups of black dots. These groups, which are of various sizes, along with the white dots (pixels turned off), create illusions of gray shading: larger groups make the image appear black or dark gray, while smaller groups make the image appear light gray.

Note: Not all graphic images can print using the Vector setting. If you are using the Vector setting, and your graphic images do not print as they appear on your computer screen, select the Raster setting and reprint your graphic.

This option can be used for configuring the halftone of the printed illustration. The best way to choose a Halftoning setting for your graphic image is to experiment. Print a graphic image at each setting and choose the one you like best.

Device - Choose this setting to allow the printer to determine a halftoning setting.

Fine - Choose this setting when you want printed images to have a smooth, realistic, and photographic appearance. This setting provides soft contrasts between various shades of gray. This setting also works well for images originally designed with color.

Coarse - Choose this setting if your graphic images were originally scanned in through a scanner.

Line art - Choose this setting for graphic images with intricate lines and fine detail, like clip art graphics. This setting provides solid lines and sharp contrasts between shaded areas.
