# ADJUSTING THE SCREENING

## Overview

When printing a document that has gradations such as a photo or illustration, a filter called a screen can be used to convert the gradations to groupings of fine dots (screening).

- This function is available in a Windows environment.
- Printer driver PCL6 or PS can use this function.

## Operation

### Windows

1. #### Click the [Advanced] tab.

2. #### Selecting screening settings

   The screen used for conversion can be selected for the type of document to be printed ("Default", "Text/Photo", "Text", "Photo", "Dot (High)"*1, *2, "Dot (Low)"*1, *2, "Dot"*1, *3).
   *1 Can only be selected when the PS printer driver is used.
   *2 Can only be selected when the color mode is set to "Automatic" or "Color".
   *3 Can only be selected when the color mode is set to "Black and White".
