Density
Refers to the deepness of a color in an image.
Device errors
Errors that require troubleshooting by a service engineer.
Dither
The process by which a group of dots is arranged to reproduce the density of grayscale. Grayscale density is reproduced by
configuring preset dot patterns. This method requires less memory compared to multilevel gray.
