Halftoning
Click the desired halftoning method:
z
Auto
Select to have the system automatically use the most appropriate
halftoning method based on the different types of image data in
your document.
z
Fine (Fast)
Click to simplify the halftoning process, and print text and tables
at a higher speed.
z
Fine
Click to use a small pattern of dots that creates a smooth
appearance with an average range of greyscales. This setting
offers a faster printing speed and is best for printing business
graphics.
z
Diffusion
Click to place individual dots randomly to achieve subtle
greyscale gradations. This setting is best suited for documents
with finely-detailed graphics or photographic images. The setting
takes longer to print, but offers a higher quality of printed output.

Image Optimiser
Select to smooth the jagged appearance of an image when printing.
This option is particularly useful for low-resolution images such as
Web pages. Optimisation may not work well with some applications,
or with certain image resolutions. Selecting this option may increase
the print time.
