# Selecting a Combination of the Print Quality Level and a Halftoning Method

You can set the print quality level and the halftoning method.

The procedure for setting the print quality level and the halftoning method is as follows:

1. Open the printer driver setup window

2. Select the print quality

   Select Custom for Print Quality on the Main tab, and click Set....

   The Custom dialog box opens.

3. Setting the print quality and halftone expression method

   Move the Quality slider to select the quality level.
   Select Halftoning and click OK.

   Note

   - Halftones refer to color shades between the darkest color and the brightest color.
     The printer replaces the color shades with a collection of small dots to express the halftones. Dither arranges the dots according to fixed rules to express the halftones. Diffusion places the dots randomly to express the halftones. When you select Auto, the data is printed with the optimal halftoning method for the selected print quality.

4. Complete the setup

   Click OK on the Main tab.
   When you execute print, the data is printed with the specified quality level and halftoning method.

Important

- Certain print quality levels and halftoning methods cannot be selected depending on the settings of Media Type.

Note

- When the part of the object is not printed, selecting Diffusion for Halftoning may solve the problem.
