Manual color options

Review the following tabular array for descriptions of the manual color options.

Setting clarification	Setting options
Halftone affects the colour output resolution and clarity.	Smoothen provides meliorate results for large, solid-filled print areas and enhances photographs by smoothing color gradations. Select this pick when uniform and polish area fills are the top priority. Detail is useful for text and graphics that require precipitous distinctions amid lines or colors, or images that comprise a pattern or a high level of detail. Select this pick when sharp edges and details are the top priority.
Neutral Grays determines the method for creating gray colors in text, graphics, and photographs.	Black Merely generates neutral colors (grays and black) by using just blackness toner. This guarantees neutral colors without a colour cast. 4-Color generates neutral colors (grays and black) by combining all four toner colors. This method produces smoother gradients and transitions to other colors, and information technology produces the darkest black.
Edge Control determines how edges are rendered and contains the post-obit components. Adaptive halftoning increases edge sharpness. Trapping reduces the effect of color-plane misregistration by overlapping the edges of side by side objects slightly.	Maximum is the virtually aggressive trapping setting. Adaptive halftoning is on. Normal sets trapping at a medium level. Adaptive halftoning is on. Lite sets trapping at a minimal level. Adaptive halftoning is on. Off turns off both trapping and adaptive halftoning.
RGB Color adjusts the color on the unabridged folio.	Default (sRGB) interprets RGB color as sRGB. The sRGB standard is the accustomed standard of Microsoft and the World wide web Consortium (www.w3.org). Vivid increases the color saturation in the midtones. Less colorful objects are rendered more colorfully. This setting is recommended for printing business graphics. Photo interprets RGB color every bit if it were printed as a photograph using a digital minilab. It renders deeper, more saturated colors differently than Default (sRGB) fashion. Use this setting for printing photos. Photo (AdobeRGB 1998) is for digital photos that utilise the AdobeRGB colour space rather than sRGB. When printing from a professional person software plan that uses AdobeRGB, plow off the color management in the software program and allow the production to manage the color space. None sets the printer to print RGB data in raw device mode. To render photographs correctly when this choice is selected, manage color in the program in which you are working or in the operating organisation.
