Detailed Settings
Clicking [Details...] in the [Quality] tab sheet opens the [Detailed Settings] dialog box. This dialog box enables you to specify the detailed settings from print quality.
| [Gradation] | Selects gradation when you print images in halftones. Normal: Performs a normal print job by processing black and white. High 1: Performs a high-quality print job by processing multi-valued colors. High 2: Performs a higher-quality print job than High 1. |
| [Color Halftones] | Select a dither pattern when you print data in color halftones. Resolutions: Prints normal letters and photo images at high quality. You can print most image data to a very high quality by selecting this item. Gradation: Produces high-quality printing for image data that contains a lot of gradations for Graphics and Computer Graphics. Color Tone: Makes any color differences imperceptible when you print photos or images on multiple pages. Pattern 1 to 5: Applies different dither patterns to text data, graphics data, and image data. Pattern 1: Text=Resolution; Graphics= Gradation; Image=Gradation Pattern 2: Text=Resolution; Graphics=Resolution; Image-Gradation Pattern 3: Text=Resolution; Graphics=Color Tone; Image=Color Tone Pattern 4: Text=Resolution; Graphics=Resolution; Image=Color Tone Pattern 5: Text=Resolution, Graphics=Gradation; Image=Color Tone |
| [Monochrome Halftones] | Specifies the use of dithering for printing halftone data. Pattern 1: Applies the same dither pattern to text data, graphics data, and image data. Pattern 2: Applies dither pattern of clear-cut to text data, of high-quality to gradation to graphics data, and of high-quality nature image to image data. Patter 3: Applies dither pattern of clear-cut to text and graphics data, and of high-quality nature image to image data. None (Solid) Prints all colors in black except for white. |
| [Enable Image Correction] | Selects Enable Image Correction to smooth out the streaking and coarse features that tend to occur when printing enlarged image files and photographs using a software application. |
| [Toner Save] | Modifies print data to print lighter and conserve toner. Off: Prints using normal density. On: Prints text lighter in printouts for proofreading and checking. |
| [Gray Compensation] | Makes graphics data in black and gray printed clearly. |
| [Prioritize Printing of Colored Lines and Text] | Check this box when printed color lines or text look patchy or broken. |
Color Settings
Clicking [Color Settings] in the [Quality] tab sheet opens the [Color Settings] dialog box. This dialog box enables you to control the brightness and contrast of images. This function is enabled only when [Manual Color Setting] is selected in the [Quality] tab sheet. Two tab sheets are provided in this dialog box.
Color Adjustment Tab
| [Preview] | Displays the image with the currently selected brightness and contrast reflected. |
| [Original] | Displays the original image. |
| [Adjustment Grid] | Adjust color by moving [Preview Image] at the center of the Adjustment Grid from side to side or up and down. |
| [Adjusted Position] | Indicates with X (horizontal) and Y (vertical) the position of Preview Icon after adjustment. The center position is X:0 and Y:0. |
| [Brightness] | Adjusts the brightness of the preview image in the range between -5 and 5. |
| [Contrast] | Adjusts the contrast of the preview image in the range between -5 and 5. |
| [Restore Defaults] | Resets all the current settings to their default values. |
| [Matching Mode] | Specifies the procedure for color correction. Driver Matching Mode: Processes color in the printer driver. The settings specified in Matching Method and Monitor Profile will be enabled. ICM Mode: Performs ICM function on Windows systems or in the application. Gamma Adjustment: Performs gamma adjustment with the gamma correction value specified in the Gamma box. All the settings in the Color Adjustment sheet and Monitor Profile, Gamma, and use CanoFine in the Matching sheet become disabled when ICM Mode is selected. |
| [Matching Method] | Specifies the matching method by assigning highest priority when the Driver Matching Mode is selected in the Matching Mode box. Perceptual [Monitor Color Matched]: Gives priority to matching the hue of the color on the monitor with the color of the printed output. Perceptual [Photographic]: Gives priority to color hue in matching and generates the colors on the monitor. Colorimetric: Gives priority to reducing the color difference between the original document on the screen (a logo, for example) and the printed output. Saturation: Gives priority to vividness in matching. Colorimetric [No White-point Correction]: Matching functions the same as Colorimetric but without white correction. This option can be selected only when Driver Matching Mode or ICM Mode is selected for Matching Mode. |
| Monitor Profile] | Specifies the setting suitable for your monitor when the Driver Matching Mode is selected in the Matching Mode box. In the case where several gamma values are provided for one options, to obtain better results select the higher gamma value if the printed image is lighter than that of the monitor. If the monitor is set to a custom setting, it is difficult to produce printed output similar to the color of the monitor when performing matching. |
| [Gamma] | Specifies the gamma correction value when the Gamma Adjustment is selected in the Matching Mode box. The brightness of the document printout can be adjusted without losing the brightest and darkest portion of the document. This option is useful when the printout result is brighter than the original image (for example, a photograph before scanning or graphics displayed on the monitor), or when you want to intentionally change the brightness of the output. Four gamma correction values are provided. The larger the value, the darker the printout is. 1.0 1.4 Default value 1.8 2.2 |
| [Use CanoFine] | Selects this option when using CanoFine. The functions of CanoFine are to correct bitmap data in a page automatically and print high-quality outputs. CanoFine prints high-quality images taken by a digital camera. |
| [Single-page Batch Processing] | Processes multiple bitmaps on a page as a single data item when [Use CanoFine] is selected. |
| [Enhanced Saturation] | Emphasizes color intensity for CanoFine processing when [Use CanoFine] is selected. |
| [Restore Defaults] | Resets all the current settings to their default values. |
