Your printer provides three different options for halftones—basic,
standard, and advanced. The basic halftone is the default and it has
been are optimized for performance and quality. The number of gray
levels varies by changing the halftone type and the printer resolution.

Your QMS 2060 Print System offers a Smoothing option under the
Administration/Engine menu if the Multi-Res daughterboard is
installed. See chapter 4, “Printer Configuration.” This QMS edge
smoothing technique alters the size and position of dots on the outer
edges of an object by reducing the width of the laser pulse to a frac-
tion of the full pulse width. This smooths jagged-edges in text, lines,
and graphics and generally improves their print quality.
» Note: Smoothing isn’t recommended when printing halftones,
because it may introduce artifacts in the halftone or scanned image.

Memory allows your printer to store and retrieve information that’s
required to perform many of its tasks. The memory requirements of
each printer are dictated by the applications to be run. Each printer
comes standard with a certain amount of memory, but you may add
more memory as necessary.
The memory is divided among users (or “clients”), each of which are
allocated a specific amount (or “block”) of memory. Each memory cli-
ent is dedicated to a specific printing and application purpose. Your
QMS 2060 Print System allows you to distribute its memory among
the various memory clients where it can best serve your specific print-
ing needs. The following sections provide information on memory
management so you can get the most from your printer.
