PRODUCT DIFFERENCES/USER CONSIDERATIONS

Print Darkness

The Xerox DocuPrint 180 LPS provides you with capabilities for tuning your output print quality to meet the particular needs of your application. The Print Darkness window at the PC UI is a feature which allows you to adjust darkness of printed characters and images. Print darkness is a scale from 1 to 9, which either darkens or lightens the image, as well as broadening or thinning the look of various characters. The nominal setting is 5, which provides the optimal mix of darkness and line thickness.

It is recommended that you test the Print Darkness feature to determine the best setting for your site or application. For more information on the Print Darkness window, refer to the Xerox DocuPrint 180 LPS Operator Guide or to the Xerox DocuPrint 180 LPS PC User Interface Reference. For more information on entering the DARKNESS command at the command line, refer to the Xerox DocuPrint 180 LPS Operator Guide or the Xerox DocuPrint 180 LPS Operations Reference.

Interpolation and scanned images

The Xerox DocuPrint 180 LPS accepts 300 spi data and prints it using a 600 spi dual beam raster output scanner (ROS). To convert 300 spi input data to 600 spi print output, the system uses an interpolation algorithm to smooth lines and improve the quality of 300 spi fonts and line art.
