NORMAL*
MAXIMUMThe Edge Control setting determines how
edges are rendered. Edge control has two
components: adaptive halftoning and
trapping. Adaptive halftoning increases
edge sharpness. Trapping reduces the
effect of color-plane misregistration by
overlapping the edges of adjacent objects
slightly.
● OFF turns off both trapping and
adaptive halftoning.
● LIGHT
 sets trapping at a minimal level,
and adaptive halftoning is on.
● NORMAL
 is the default trapping
setting. Trapping is at a medium level
and adaptive halftoning is on.
