2-14 Printing With the MultiPASS C635 Chapter 2Scatter: Use the scatter dither option when printingphotos from “paint” or image editing packages. Thisoption also works well when printing images withgradients or blends.Scatter dither does not use a regular pattern togenerate color or grayscale output. The scatter-ditherprocess compares each pixel to neighboring pixels todetermine how best to blend the pixels together.The difference between pixels is distributed over neighboring pixels,so scatter dither produces higher quality output in images wherecolor changes frequently and subtly. However, generating an imageusing scatter dither takes longer to print than pattern dither.❍ BrightnessAn adjustment slider is available when you choose Grayscale or FullColor in the Print Colors As menu. Moving the slider alters theoverall brightness of the printed output.Using the Preview WindowUse Print Preview to see how your document looks before you actuallyprint it.❍ To preview a document, select the Preview checkbox in the Printdialog, then click Print. Use the direction arrows to turn the pages,or click the Go To button to go to a specific page.Working With SpoolMasterSpoolMaster is a background printing utility (also called a spooler)developed to work with the MultiPASS printer driver. WhenSpoolMaster is installed and activated, you can continue to use yourcomputer while printing documents. The downside to backgroundprinting is a slightly longer print time. If you must get a documentprinted as quickly as possible, you can turn off background printing soyour computer can dedicate all of its resources to the print job.
