Fine-Tuning Color Output
We’ve configured your printer so that most users don’t have to
change the default settings to get excellent color output, and we’ve
provided Q
COLOR
technology (through the QMS-supplied
Macintosh or Windows driver) to automatically optimize color
output. However, the printer is designed to allow you to change
individual print-quality features if you wish to, or if your
application requires you to use a non-QMS Macintosh or Windows
driver.
This section gives more detailed information about the individual
color settings available:
■ Printer default halftone
■ Dither pattern
■ Gamma correction
■ Color rendering dictionary (CRD)
These settings can be changed in the printer configuration menu or
in the QMS-supplied Macintosh or Windows driver. See chapter
3, “Connecting the Printer,” for information on installing these
drivers, and see the driver help for information on accessing the
settings described below.
Printer Default Halftone Settings
Halftone settings, such as screen line frequency and screen angles,
play an important part in the appearance of a color print. For
example, incorrect halftone angles can cause prints to have a
mottled appearance, called moiré.
