Selecting a halftoning method

Halftoning is a process in which colors are blended by using an arrangement
of different-colored dots. The Color StyleWriter 2500 blends colors by using
either a repeating pattern or a random scattering of dots. The random method
generally produces a smoother appearance, though it takes longer to print.
The default choice is random scattering.

To change the halftoning method, follow these steps:

1

When you are ready to print, choose Print from the File menu.

The Print dialog box opens.

2

Click the Color button to open another dialog box.

3

Click Pattern or Scatter.

4

To return to the Print dialog box, click OK.

Switching between printers

If you have more than one printer available, you must select which printer you
want to use. The printer you select is called the default printer.

To change the default printer, use one of these three methods, as described in
the next sections.

m Drag the document you want to print to a desktop printer icon.
m Select the printer by using its desktop printer icon.
m Select the printer by using the Chooser.
Note: Switching between printers may change how much information you
can fit on a page. It’s best to choose a printer before you spend much time
paginating the document.
