							Table 9-1  Manual color options
Setting description Setting options
Edge Control
The  Edge Control  setting determines the rendering
of edges. 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. Adaptive halftoning is on.
● Normal
 sets trapping at a medium level. Adaptive halftoning is
on.
● Maximum
 is the most aggressive trapping setting. Adaptive
halftoning is on.
Halftone
Halftone  options affect color output clarity and
resolution. ●
Smooth provides better results for large, solid-filled print areas
and enhances photographs by smoothing color gradations. Select
this option when uniform and smooth area fills are important.
● Detail
 is useful for text and graphics that require sharp
distinctions among lines or colors, or images that contain a
pattern or a high level of detail. Select this option when sharp
edges and small details are important.
Neutral Grays
The  Neutral Grays  setting determines the method
for creating gray colors used in text, graphics, and
photographs. ●
Black Only
 generates neutral colors (grays and black) by using
only black toner. This guarantees neutral colors without a color
cast. This setting is best for documents and grayscale viewgraphs.
● 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 it produces the darkest black.
