2-14 Printing With the MultiPASS C635
Chapter 2
Scatter: Use the scatter dither option when printing
photos from “paint” or image editing packages. This
option also works well when printing images with
gradients or blends.
Scatter dither does not use a regular pattern to
generate color or grayscale output. The scatter-dither
process compares each pixel to neighboring pixels to
determine how best to blend the pixels together.
The difference between pixels is distributed over neighboring pixels,
so scatter dither produces higher quality output in images where
color changes frequently and subtly. However, generating an image
using scatter dither takes longer to print than pattern dither.
❍
Brightness
An adjustment slider is available when you choose Grayscale or Full
Color in the Print Colors As menu. Moving the slider alters the
overall brightness of the printed output.
Using the Preview Window
Use Print Preview to see how your document looks before you actually
print it.
❍
To preview a document, select the Preview checkbox in the Print
dialog, then click Print. Use the direction arrows to turn the pages,
or click the Go To button to go to a specific page.
Working With SpoolMaster
SpoolMaster is a background printing utility (also called a spooler)
developed to work with the MultiPASS printer driver. When
SpoolMaster is installed and activated, you can continue to use your
computer while printing documents. The downside to background
printing is a slightly longer print time. If you must get a document
printed as quickly as possible, you can turn off background printing so
your computer can dedicate all of its resources to the print job.
