Gray output of color text

Dither Text

The WorkCentre 385 relies on dithering to achieve shades of gray. With the Dither Text option checked (the default), the WorkCentre 385 provides accurate grays even if it has to dither them.

However, small dithered text is difficult to read. With the Dither Text option not checked, your printer maps text and lines to the nearest gray. For black

&white output, the grays that are darker than about 50% map to black; while lighter grays map to white. For color output, colors map to the nearest gray.

If you are getting poor results from small gray or colored text, try changing the setting of this option.

Dither Lines

The WorkCentre 385 relies on dithering to achieve shades of gray. With the Dither Lines option checked (the default), the WorkCentre 385 prints accurate grays even if it has to dither them.

However, fine dithered lines appear dashed instead of solid. With the Dither Lines option not checked, your printer maps text and lines to the nearest gray. For black & white output, the grays that are darker than about 50% map to black; while lighter grays map to white. For color output, colors map to the nearest gray.

If you are getting poor results from thin gray or colored lines, try changing the setting of this option.
