Automatic or manual color adjustment
The Automatic color adjustment option optimizes the neutral-gray color treatment, halftones, and edge enhancements
used for each element in a document. For more information, see your printer driver online Help.
Note Automatic is the default setting and is recommended for printing all color documents.
The Manual color adjustment option allows you to adjust the neutral-gray color treatment, halftones, and edge
enhancements for text, graphics and photographs. To gain access to the manual color options, from the Color tab, select
Manual, and then click Settings.
Manual color options
Use the manual color adjustment to adjust the Color (or Color Map) and Halftoning options individually for text, graphics,
and photographs.
Halftone options
Halftoning is the method by which the printer mixes the four primary colors (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black) in varying
proportions to create millions of colors. The Halftone options affect the resolution and clarity of your color output. You can
select halftone settings for text, graphics, and photographs independently. The two halftone options are Text and Detail.
• The Text halftone option is optimized for the best reproduction of normal to small text and graphics that require
sharp distinctions among lines or colors. Choose this option when the sharp edges of small objects, especially
those that contain secondary colors (such as red, green, and blue), are the top priority.
