═══ 1. Help for Layout ═══

The Layout dialog (also known as n-up), allows you to print two pages on a 
sheet of paper. 

The right hand side of the dialog contains a white rectangle that displays a 
sample page of how the output might look.  Each line on the sample page 
represents a line of text.  You will also notice the indents for 'paragraphs'. 
As you change the number of pages, the sample page will also change to reflect 
how the output might look. 

For more information of specific controls, select one of the following: 

     Number of pages/sheet 
     Booklet printing 
     Undo 
     Defaults 


═══ 2. Help for Number of pages/sheet ═══

Number of pages/sheet 

This listbox contains the number of pages that may be printed on a single sheet 
of paper.  The default value is one page per sheet. 

As you select a value, the sample page will display how the output might look. 

You may only select one of the values listed.  You cannot enter your own value. 


═══ 3. Help for Booklet printing ═══

Booklet printing 

Booklet printing feature allows printing and folding output like a book. For 
using this feature it's necessary to select Enable booklet option. 

Enable booklet option - selecting this option allows the output to be printed 
like a book. 

All pages option is automatically enabled when Enable booklet option is 
selected. The option allows printing of the whole document as a book. The 
option is disabled when Pages option is selected. 

Pages option - allows selecting specific pages to be printed. 

Range of pages area - Specify the page numbers you want to be printed like a 
book. These pages will be printed sequentially in the order they were listed in 
Range of pages area. Page numbers should be separated by commas and/or hyphen. 
For instance, 2, 3-5, 8 and so on. 

Reverse printing order option is used for some printers without duplex mode to 
reverse the page order when printing multiple pages in booklet. In booklet 
printing, after the first side of all pages are printed, some printers require 
the user to manually reverse the order of the pages to get the correct second 
side printing. Turning this option on will let the printer driver print the 
second side pages in reverse order, eliminating the manual step to reverse the 
order of the pages. 


═══ 4. Help for Undo ═══

Undo button 

Select Undo to return the settings of the current page to the values that were 
active before the dialog was displayed. 


═══ 5. Help for Defaults button ═══

In this case, one (1) page per sheet will be selected. 


═══ 6. Help for Web ═══

The Web notebook page provides a comprehensive means to launch a Web browser to 
a preset URL. From this page you can search for information about drivers or 
printers or download updated printer drivers. These URLs can be customized by 
the user. 

The Home URL, by default, points to the DDPAK home page or the printer vendor's 
information page about that printer. Click Home to launch a default Web browser 
pointing to that URL. 

The Driver URL, by default, points to the OS/2 Service FTP site where you can 
download the latest printer drivers. Click Driver to launch a default Web 
browser pointing to that URL. After you download the updated driver, you will 
have to install it manually. Automatic install is not supported. 


═══ 7. Printer Properties ═══

Printer Properties 

The Printer Properties dialog contains a notebook of settings that describe 
your printer and its capabilities. 

Printer Properties are different from Job Properties which are more commonly 
modified for print jobs. 

Click on one of the following page names to get detailed information about 
settings available on that page: 

     Connections 
     Trays 
     Paper Sizes 
     Maintenance 
     Web 

 The Printer Properties dialog also contains buttons. Click on the name of a 
 button to find out what it does. 

     Save 
     Cancel 
     Default Job Properties 
     Help 

 Note:   Some notebook pages will not appear on printer models that do not 
         support any features from that page. 

 All Printer Properties notebook settings are initially set to show the base 
 characteristics of the printer as shipped from the manufacturer. 

 Users typically only use Printer Properties when they have physically added 
 things to their printer (e.g. additional memory, paper trays, paper sizes, 
 etc.). 

 It is important to keep Printer Property information as accurate as possible 
 to ensure the printer driver creates the fastest, highest quality printouts. 

 Warning! Users should be aware that changing Printer Properties from one Print 
 Queue (or application) changes them for all other Print Queues. 

 This is because each physical printer only needs one set of Printer Properties 
 to describe it.  Although, you can access the same set of Printer Properties 
 for that printer from any Print Queue where you see it. 

 Note:   The Omni Printer Driver is a 32-bit IBM  OS/2 Printer Driver requiring 
         OS/2 Warp or greater to run. 


═══ 7.1. Save ═══

Save 

Pressing the Save button causes the Printer Properties dialog to close and all 
changes made to Printer Properties notebook pages are saved. 

The printer driver will now use these newly saved Printer Properties whenever 
printing to this particular printer. 

"Saving" changes the Printer Properties for all Print Queues on the desktop 
that reference that same printer. 

Note:   If you do not wish to save or alter the current set of Printer 
Properties, but just want to close the Printer Properties dialog, simply press 
the Cancel button instead. 


═══ 7.2. Cancel ═══

Cancel 

Pressing the Cancel button causes the Printer Properties dialog to close. Any 
changes made to Printer Properties notebook pages are ignored by the calling 
application. 

The printer driver for that printer will still use the Printer Properties shown 
before any changes were made. 

Note:   If you do want to save or alter the current set of Printer Properties, 
        simply press the Save button instead. 


═══ 7.3. Default Job Properties ═══

Default Job Properties 

Pressing the Default Job Properties button brings up the Job Properties 
notebook. 

This is where you can set a unique set of Job Properties to apply to print jobs 
submitted that do not have any. 

Note:   These Job Properties are rarely used since most applications supply 
        them or the OS/2 spooler supplies them from Job Properties for the 
        print queue. 

This button may be phased-out in the future since there are so few cases where 
these Job Properties are used. 

However, if you can not seem to get Job Properties to work when printing from 
your application these may be the correct ones to modify. 


═══ 7.4. Help ═══

Help 

Pressing the Help button brings up this help window and shows the main help for 
the Printer Properties dialog. 

Once in the main help dialog, you can access help topics for any specific 
printer property shown anywhere in the Printer Properties notebook.

When your printer is not printing clearly, try cleaning the print head. 

If your printer does not print clearly after several cleanings, the ink tank or 
cartridges may be out of ink, or the cartridge print head may be worn out. If 
this is the case, you will need to change the cartridge or ink tank . 

For HP DeskJet and HP devices this application cleans the color and black print 
cartridges. To clean the print cartridges, click Clean the print heads button 
and follow the instructions on the screen. 

For Canon devices when you select Print Head Cleaning for a printer that has 
multiple print heads, a print head selection window opens. Select the print 
head you want to clean: 

     All Colors 
     Black 
     Color

Click this button to move the ink cartridge to the load/unload position, so you 
can change or replace the ink cartridge or ink head. 

The printer driver provides the necessary auxiliary operations for changing the 
BJ cartridge. When the ink supply runs out, you can replace the ink tank 
without replacing the BJ cartridge. 

After changing the BJ Cartridge, the Print Head Alignment procedure is 
automatically started. 

Note:   Some printers may not provide this function, or may show different 
        buttons with different devices.


═══ 11.11. Print Head Alignment ═══

Alignment 

When your printer is not printing clearly, try aligning the print heads.  The 
method used to align the print heads depends on the model of your printer. 

For HP DeskJet and HP printers 

For HP DeskJet and HP printers this application aligns the color and black 
print cartridges. To align the print cartridges, click Align the print heads 
button and follow the instructions on the screen. 

DJ970C/DJ1220C use auto pen alignment. No user input is required. 

In general, you will not need to align the print cartridges. Your HP printer 
uses state-of-the-art technology to ensure that the print cartridges are 
aligned at all times. 

For Canon printers 

Some printers use two BJ cartridges.  After you change a BJ cartridge, you need 
to align the two print heads so they provide clear, attractive printing. 
Aligning the print heads ensures that the print heads are aligned for accurate 
printing. 

For those printers that use BJ cartridges, once the print head alignment 
operation is started, it cannot be canceled. 

During the print head alignment operation, you will be prompted to proceed 
through the operation.  The printer will print out alignment patterns and high 
resolution alignment patterns.  After each set of patterns is printed, you will 
be asked to check whether the pattern printed satisfactorily.  If the pattern 
printed satisfactorily, click the Yes button to continue the operation.  If the 
pattern did not print satisfactorily, click the No button and follow the 
instructions to repeat the alignment process. 

You will need to look at the printed patterns and enter the appropriate number 
for the identified alignment patterns. 

For the BJC-6000, BJC-7100, and BJC-8000 printers, you should select each 
pattern in which the two lines seem to become one. 

For the BJC-7000 and BJC-8500 printers, you should note the number of the line 
for (A), (B), (C), or (D) where the lines overlap perfectly. 

The alignment adjustments can be verified by selecting the Nozzle Test button 
in the Maintenance tab's Test feature.

═══ 13. Common Page ═══

Common Page 

This page is used to set and view the most "common" job property options users 
apply to printouts. 

This page contains the following job properties: 

Click on the name of a job property to see what it does. 

     Form Connection 
     Print Quality 
     Print Mode 
     Orientation 
     Duplex Options 
     Default Font 
     Copies 
     Color Dither 
     Effects 
     Form Feed Control 


═══ 13.1. Form Connection ═══

Form Connection 

This pulldown list allows you to select the correct Form Connection to print 
to. 

A Form Connection represents the combination of a paper tray, size and media 
type as a single selectable item. 

This representation closely reflects a real printer's setup (i.e. you place a 
paper size of a certain media type in a certain paper tray). 

Linking these properties as a single Form Connection allows the application to 
know if a desired paper size is installed in a paper tray or not.  If it is 
not, the user will be told to change the paper size to the correct one for that 
printout. 

Form connections can also let applications make sure the correct media type is 
installed in a paper tray before printing. 

Note:   New Form Connections can be added to this list from the driver's 
        Printer Properties dialog. 

Simply follow the instructions on the "Connection" page in the Printer 
Properties notebook. 


═══ 13.2. Print Quality ═══

Print Quality 

This pulldown list allows you to select the quality of printouts based upon the 
capabilities of your printer. 

Some printers choose to list print quality by resolution or dots-per-inch 
(DPI). In this case, a higher DPI typically means a higher print quality (also 
called higher resolution). 

Other printers use regular terms to describe the quality of the image. This 
still usually implies the resolution of the printouts are changing to achieve a 
selected print quality. 

 Examples of common Print Qualities: 

     Draft, Presentation 
     300 dpi, 600 dpi 
     Low, Average, High 

 Note:   The higher the print quality the longer it will take for printouts to 
         finish printing. 

 Photo-Quality Printing 

 For best output results printing "photo-quality" graphics please select the 
 highest available print quality listed. 


═══ 13.3. Print Mode ═══

Print Mode 

This pulldown list allows you to select whether your printouts are monochrome 
or color (if supported by your printer). 

If the printer allows multiple levels of grayscale or more than one color 
format those selections will appear in this list as well. 

This number is sometimes represented as "bits-per-pel" (bpp): 

     24-bit = 16.7 million colors/grayscales 
     8-bit  = 256 colors/grayscales 
     4-bit  = 16 colors/grayscales 

 Photo-Quality Printing 

 For best output results printing "photo-quality" graphics please select the 
 print mode that uses the most colors/grayscales or highest "bits-per-pel". 

 Note:   This driver's monochrome printouts, by default, use 256 grayscales and 
         color printouts use 256 colors (if none are listed). 

 Selecting color print modes will cause printouts to take longer to finish than 
 selecting monochrome print modes for the same document. 

 The more colors/grayscales used on a printout (more "bits-per-pel") the longer 
 the printout will take to finish. 


═══ 13.4. Orientation ═══

Orientation 

This group contains buttons to select how a form is oriented when printing. 

The selection determines which dimension of a paper is to be considered the 
width and which the height. 

One of the following buttons can be selected: 

Portrait orientation typically means that printed output occurs so that the 
form width is the smaller of the two possible form dimensions. 

Landscape orientation typically means that printed output occurs so that the 
form width is the larger of the two possible form dimensions. 


═══ 13.5. Duplex Options ═══

Duplex Options 

This group contains buttons that select how duplexing is performed on those 
printers that support this option. 

One of the following buttons can be selected: 

1-Sided means printing only occurs on one side of each piece of paper.  This is 
the only option available for printers that do not support duplexing. 

2-Sided Book means printing occurs on both sides of each piece of paper. In 
addition, duplexing occurs so that you continue reading from the front side of 
a paper to the back side by flipping it over left-to-right like a "book's" 
page. 

2-Sided Flip means printing occurs on both sides of each piece of paper. In 
addition, duplexing occurs so that you continue reading from the front side of 
a paper to the back side by flipping it over top-to-bottom . 


═══ 13.6. Default Font ═══

Default Font 

This pulldown list allows you to select what device font is to be used as the 
default font for simple text printouts. 

This setting (when available) usually only effects text printouts from 
applications that do not explicitly choose a font. 

Note:   Many printer models do not have device font support enabled. 


═══ 13.7. Copies ═══

Copies 

Number of copies:  enter the number of copies to print. 

Collate:  provides the collated output. Collating is defined as follows: for 
three copies of a three-page document, collated pages are produced in the order 
1-2-3-1-2-3-1-2-3, while uncollated pages are produced in the order 
1-1-1-2-2-2-3-3-3. 


═══ 13.8. Effects ═══

Effects 

This group contains check boxes of options to apply to printouts. 

Any of the following can be checked: 

Mirror Image When selected all printouts come out as if viewed in the face of a 
mirror. 

One practical use for this option is to create iron-on transfers. 

Note:   This option is only available in Portrait orientation. 


═══ 13.9. Form Feed Control ═══

Form Feed Control 

This group contains buttons that select how Form Feeds should be handled at the 
end of non-OS/2 print jobs. 

One of the following buttons can be selected: 

Conditional Ensures a Form Feed is present at the end of every print job 

None Preserves any Form Feed commands found at the end of each print job 

Compulsory Always adds a Form Feed command at the end of each print job 

Note:   When "Conditional" is selected, it is possible that some imbedded Form 
        Feeds characters will not be detected and additional Form Feeds can 
        still occur. 


═══ 14. Monochrome Page ═══

Monochrome Page 

This page contains job properties that affect the appearance of monochrome 
printouts. 

This page contains the following job properties: 

Click on the name of a job property to see what it does. 

     Monochrome Adjustments 
        -  Darkness 
     Monochrome Colors 
        -  Foreground 
        -  Background 

 Note:   This driver supports 256 levels of grayscale when printing monochrome. 


═══ 14.1. Monochrome Colors ═══

Monochrome Colors 

This group contains two lists that allow you to select what color is considered 
the "foreground" and "background" colors for a monochrome printout. 

Click on the name of a list for more information: 

     Foreground 
     Background 

 These lists contains the following colors: 

     Black (default foreground) 
     White (default background) 
     Blue 
     Green 
     Cyan 
     Red 
     Pink 
     Yellow 

 Note:   This option is only available on some color-capable printers when in a 
         monochrome Print Mode. 

 For non-color printers, the foreground color is always "black" and the 
 background color is "white". 


═══ 14.2. Foreground ═══

Foreground 

This list allows you to change the foreground ink color used for monochrome 
printouts to one of the colors in the list. 

By default, black ink is used for the foreground color on monochrome printouts. 

Note:   This option is only available on some color-capable printers when in a 
        monochrome print mode. 


═══ 14.3. Background ═══

Background 

This list allows you to change the background ink color used for monochrome 
printouts to one of the colors in the list. 

By default, the color white is used for the background color on monochrome 
printouts.  Since most printers do not have white ink, the paper's color is 
assumed to be white and no ink is used. 

Once the background color is changed from white (default) to any other color, 
the background color will be generated from mixing the printer's available 
inks. 

Note:   This option is only available on some color-capable printers when in a 
        monochrome print mode. 

Only change the background color if really needed since it increases print 
times and wastes ink. 


═══ 14.4. Darkness (Monochrome) ═══

Darkness (Monochrome) 

This slider adjusts the darkness of monochrome printouts. 

The control adjusts from a value of 0 (default darkness); where positive values 
make printouts increasingly darker and negative increasingly lighter. 


═══ 14.5. Monochrome Adjustments ═══

Monochrome Adjustments 

This group contains the job properties that can be used to adjust the 
appearance of monochrome output. 

The following adjustments are available: 

     Darkness 


═══ 15. Color Page ═══

═══ 15.1. Color Dithering ═══

Color Dithering 

This group contains the dithering algorithms and settings that effect certain 
dithering algorithms. 

Color dithering is the process of mixing a small set of colors to produce 
(simulate) many other colors (e.g. Mixing cyan, magenta, and yellow in a 
printer to produce up to 16.7 million colors). 

The following adjustments are available: 

     Color Dither 

 Photo-Quality Printing 

 For best output results printing "photo-quality" graphics please select either 
 Steinberg Diffusion or Stucki Diffusion dither algorithms from the list. 

 See Color Dither for more information about specific algorithms and their 
 effects. 


═══ 15.2. Color Dither ═══

Color Dither 

Allows selection of a color dithering algorithm supported by this printer 
driver to apply to color printouts. 

Information about a specific color dither algorithm's relative strengths, 
weaknesses, and performance considerations is provided by clicking below on its 
name. 

Click on any color dither algorithm name for more information: 

     Magic Square 
     4x4 Color Dither 
     8x8 Color Dither 
     Stucki Diffusion 
     Steinberg Diffusion 
     Ordered Squares 
     Void Cluster Diffusion 

 Photo-Quality Printing 

 For best output results printing "photo-quality" graphics please select either 
 Steinberg Diffusion or Stucki Diffusion dither algorithms from the list. 


═══ 15.3. Magic Square ═══

Magic Square 

This is the default color dithering algorithm for this printer driver. 

The algorithm is based on a tessalation dither that creates a 16x16 square of 
randomized values that are used to generate dithered colors. 

This algorithm accepts adjustments from the HSV Page. 

Output Quality: 

For most color printouts which contain 256 colors or less, this algorithm 
provides very nice output containing barely perceivable patterns. 

Performance: 

For the output quality, this is by far the fastest algorithm you can choose. 

Choosing a simpler dithering algorithm will not really produce noticeable 
performance increases. 

Recommendations: 

For better performance: try the 4x4 Color Dither or the 8x8 Color Dither. 

For better quality: try the Void Cluster Diffusion algorithm. 

For photo-quality: try Steinberg or Stucki Diffusion. 

Note:   The Ordered Square algorithm provides similar performance with slightly 
        different results. 


═══ 15.4. 4x4 ═══

4x4 Color Dither 

This dither uses a set of four-by-four grids for mixing colors to make other 
colors. 

Output Quality: 

Quality is poor for color printouts and the 4-by-4 pattern can be seen easily. 

Performance: 

Performance is very good. 

Recommendations: 

This algorithm is good for printouts with low and normal print quality and when 
smooth graphics are not required. 

For better quality, try 8x8 Color Dither or Magic Square algorithms. 


═══ 15.5. 8x8 Color Dither ═══

8x8 Color Dither 

This dither uses a set of eight-by-eight grids for mixing colors to make other 
colors. 

Output Quality: 

Quality is better than the 4x4 Color Dither on color printouts. The 8-by-8 
pattern can be seen on printouts, but not as easily as the 4x4 Color Dither's. 

Performance: 

Performance is very good. 

Recommendations: 

This algorithm is good for printouts with low and normal print quality and when 
smooth graphics are not required. 

For better quality, try Magic Square or Ordered Square algorithms. 


═══ 15.6. Steinberg Diffusion ═══

Steinberg Diffusion 

This algorithm is one of the fastest diffusion algorithms around that produces 
nice output with printouts containing 16.7 million colors or less. 

Output Quality: 

Photo-quality output.  However, "snakelike" patterns can be found through 
extremely close inspection.  For most printouts, this is not a very important 
problem. 

Performance: 

Performance is much slower then Magic Squares and slightly slower than Void 
Cluster Diffusion. 

Recommendations: 

For better quality, try the Stucki Diffusion algorithm. For faster output, try 
the Void Cluster Diffusion Algorithm. 


═══ 15.7. Stucki Diffusion ═══

Stucki Diffusion 

This algorithm is one of the fastest diffusion algorithms around that produces 
nice output with printouts containing 16.7 million colors or less. 

Output Quality: 

Photo-quality output with no discernable patterns. 

Performance: 

Performance is slower than Void Cluster Diffusion or Steinberg Diffusion. 

Recommendations: 

For better performance, try Void Cluster Diffusion or Steinberg Diffusion. 


═══ 15.8. Ordered Square ═══

Ordered Square 

A tessalation dither similar to Magic Square, but the 16x16 square is filled 
with random numbers based on a different method. 

This algorithm accepts adjustments from the HSV Page. 

Output Quality: 

For most color printouts which contain 256 colors or less, this algorithm 
provides very nice output containing barely perceivable patterns. 

These patterns are slightly different then those seen with Magic Square and may 
or may not be more visually appealing. 

Performance: 

For the output quality, this is by far the fastest algorithm you can choose. 

Choosing a simpler dithering algorithm will not really produce noticeable 
performance increases. 

Recommendations: 

For printing "photo-quality" images (or images with more than 256 colors), you 
should use a diffusion dither algorithm for best results. Please see Steinberg 
Diffusion or  Stucki Diffusion dither algorithms. 


═══ 15.9. Void Cluster Diffusion ═══

Void Cluster Diffusion 

This is an ordered dither method based on matrix 64X64 of uniformly distributed 
random threshold values. 

Output Quality: 

High quality output with excellent vividness of colours. Good compromise 
between quality and performance. Printouts are a little bit mat. 

Performance: 

Faster than Stucki and Steinberg methods, slightly slower than others. 

Recommendations: 

Can be used as draft printouts for photo-style images before printing the final 
version with Stucki method. 


═══ 15.10. Fast Diffusion ═══

Fast Diffusion 

This is the fastest diffusion-based dithering algorithm for printouts 
containing 16.7 million colors or less. 

Output Quality: 

Very good, noticeably better than Magic Square. 

Performance: 

Noticeably slower than Magic Square. 

Recommendations: 

For better performance, try Magic Square or Ordered Square algorithms. 

For photo-quality, try Steinberg or Stucki Diffusion algorithms. 


═══ 15.11. HSV Diffusion ═══

HSV Diffusion 

 HSV stands for Hue Saturation and Value.  It is one color system (another is 
Red Blue Green).  Dithering algorithms will dither the RGB color image into 
many monochrome bitmap.  Dithering algorithms like Stucki and Steinberg will 
take the RGB value and snap it into 4 separate Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black 
monochrome values (0 or 1).  The difference between what it actually was and 
the 0/1 value is the error and that is accumulated and spread across the 
monochrome bitmap.  The HSV dithering algorithm will convert the RGB value into 
an HSV value and spread only 1 error instead of 4 errors. 

HSV diffusion and HSV Bidiffusion differ in which direction the error is 
accumulated.  HSV diffusion always travels from right to left.  HSV bidiffusion 
travels from right to left on even scan lines and from left to right on odd 
scan lines.  This affects how dithering artifacts will appear on the printed 
output. 


═══ 15.12. CMYK Diffusion ═══

CMYK Diffusion 

 CMYK stands for Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Black.  It is one color system 
(another is Red Blue Green).  Dithering algorithms will dither the RGB color 
image into many monochrome bitmap.  Dithering algorithms like Stucki and 
Steinberg will take the RGB value and snap it into 4 separate Cyan, Magenta, 
Yellow, and Black monochrome values (0 or 1).  The difference between what it 
actually was and the 0/1 value is the error and that is accumulated and spread 
across the monochrome bitmap.  The CMYK dithering algorithm will convert the 
RGB value into a CMYK value and spread only 1 error instead of 4 errors. 


═══ 15.13. Color Adjustments ═══

Color Adjustments 

Color adjustments modify the amount of ink the printer driver tells the printer 
to apply to the paper. 

Increasing the Red, Green, Blue, or Black sliders from zero (the default 
adjustment) will increase the amount of that color ink used on color printouts. 

Decreasing the Red, Green, Blue or Black sliders from zero (the default 
adjustment) will decrease the amount of that color ink used on color printouts. 

Note:   The default Red, Green, Blue, and Black Slider value is zero (0). This 
        value was found, on average, to result in the best color printouts 
        using the currently selected resolution and media type. 

 The following Color Adjustments are available: 

     Red Color Adjustment 
     Green Color Adjustment 
     Blue Color Adjustment 
     Black Color Adjustment 

 Background: 

 Most color printers have been tested at different resolutions on different 
 media types.  Based on these results, the printer driver will automatically 
 adjust ink values so that ink does not "bleed" (too much ink) and is dark 
 enough for crisp color output. 

 If your printed output is not satisfactory, these slider controls are 
 available. 


═══ 15.14. Red Color Adjustments ═══

Red Color Adjustment 

This slider increases or decreases the amount of inks that make up the color 
"red" used on color printouts. 


═══ 15.15. Green Color Adjustments ═══

Green Color Adjustment 

This slider increases or decreases the amount of inks that make up the color 
"green" used on color printouts. 


═══ 15.16. Blue Color Adjustments ═══

Blue Color Adjustment 

This slider increases or decreases the amount of inks that make up the color 
"blue" used on color printouts. 


═══ 15.17. Black Color Adjustments ═══

Black Color Adjustment 

This slider increases or decreases the amount of inks that make up the color 
"black" used on color printouts. 


═══ 15.18. Tone ═══

Tone 

Increasing the Red, Green or Blue Tone values from zero causes the respective 
color's maximum intensity to decrease. 

Decreasing the Red, Green or Blue Tone increases the intensity of that color 
ink on printouts. 

Note:   The default Red, Green and Blue Tone value is 0. This value was found, 
        on average, to result in the best color printouts. 


═══ 16. HSV Page ═══

HSV Page 

This page is used to adjust Hue, Saturation and Darkness (Vividness) of color 
printouts.  This page only affects certain Color Dither algorithms that use an 
HSV color model. 

The following color dither algorithms use HSV Adjustments: 

     Magic Square 
     Ordered Square 

 Other color dithers currently ignore these settings. 

 This page contains the following job properties: 

     HSV Adjustments 
        -  Hue 
        -  Saturation 
        -  Darkness 


═══ 17. HSV Adjustments ═══

HSV Adjustments 

Contains sliders that affect a color printout's Hue, Saturation and Darkness 
(Vividness). 

This group contains the following adjustments: 

     Hue 
     Saturation 
     Darkness 


═══ 18. Hue ═══

Hue 

This slider adjusts the hue of color printouts. 

The default value of 0 degrees preserves the meaning of RGB colors for 
printouts.  The hue value can be increased or decreased from 0 degrees causing 
an RGB color shift for all colors in a printout. 

Example  A color which started out red would be shifted so that it may come out 
         green. 


═══ 19. Saturation ═══

Saturation 

This slider controls the amount of color ink used on color printouts. 

This control adjusts from 0% (default saturation) where positive adjustments 
increase the amount of color and negative adjustments decrease the amount of 
color. 


═══ 20. Darkness (HSV) ═══

Darkness (HSV) 

This slider controls the amount of black ink (or ink mixes that simulate the 
color black) used on color printouts. 

This control adjusts from 0% (default Darkness) where positive adjustments 
increase the amount of black and negative adjustments decrease amount of black. 

Note:   Be careful when increasing saturation or increasing darkness as more 
        ink will be applied to your paper and may cause paper to become 
        over-saturated.
