The machine can use two methods (Diffusion or Dither) to arrange dots to express halftones. There are some predefined patterns and you can choose which one to use for your document.

•	Diffusion: Dots are put at random to create the halftones. Use for printing photographs that have delicate shades and graphics.
•	Dither: Dots are arranged in a pre-defined pattern to make halftones. Use for printing graphics that have definite color boundaries or for printing charts such as business charts.

Note

Some halftone settings cannot be chosen with certain combinations of Media Type and Quality settings.
