Gray Compensation (PCL Only)

Return to Overview


Text: Off, On*
Graphics: Off, On*
Image: Off, On*


An asterisk (*) indicates the default setting in this section.

This setting determines whether only black (K) toner is used when the ratio of R (red) to G (green) to B (blue) is the same. Gray compensation can be set for Text and Graphics data.

If <On> is selected, black and gray data for the equivalent levels of RGB is printed using the black (K) toner only, thereby lessening toner bleeding.

If <Off> is selected, black and gray data for the equivalent levels of RGB is printed using all 4 (CMYK) toners. However, there is a possibility that the toner may bleed.


Remark
  • If your machine is the imageRUNNER C1028, the optional PCL Printer Kit is required.
  • If a problem occurs to the <Graphics> data with the default values set, switch <Graphics> on and off to fix the problem.
  • The setting made from the printer driver will override this setting made in the <Printer Settings> menu. If the selected printing options are not reflected correctly, check the printer driver settings.
