Graphics (pop-up dialog)
The
Graphics
dialog contains two advanced settings,
Dither Pattern
and
Adjustment
.
Dither Pattern
Dithering can be used to improve the texture of graphics. Changing the
dither pattern will affect the gray tones and shadowing of an image.
Open the drop-down list and select from the available dither patterns. A
sample of the pattern will appear in the small window to the left.
Documents that have been generated in the
Fine mode
may appear too
dark when faxed or copied (depending upon the performance of your
fax machine or copier). Select the
Photocopy
mode when printing
documents that you intend to photocopy or send as a fax. The
Fine
mode is recommended for all other documents.
Adjustment
The sliders can be used to control the tones and lighting of an image in
terms of
Contrast
and
Brightness
. Usually, the median values toward
the center of the bars will provide the best display. To fine tune these
settings, click and hold on the sliders in order to make left and right
adjustments.
