For optimum print quality in most applications, the default setting in the Administration/

Emulations/PostScript/Halftone Type menu has been changed from Standard to Agfa

Screening. Agfa’s Balanced Screening (ABS) technology is based on the same princi-

ples as traditional graphic arts screening using rotated angles and dots to produce

open-centered rosettes. The use of pre-compensated gradations optimizes contrast

and color while eliminating contouring and banding that typically affect high-quality

images found in business graphics. Operating at both 600- and 1200-dpi at 133-lpi

(lines per inch), Agfa screening provides maximum color balance, color gamut, and

minimizes color variations. At 1200 dpi, ABS provides approximately 256 shades per

primary color for Contone-quality images. Agfa Screening can be set from the driver

and is now the driver default.

QMS Standard screening is still available in the Administration/Emulations/PostScript/

Halftone Type menu. The technology behind the QMS Q

COLOR

halftone screening

used as the “Standard” setting in your

magicolor

6100 is referred to as QMS

ColorDepth. At 1200 dpi, ColorDepth provides approximately 200 shades per primary

color for Contone-quality images. This halftone setting provides the fastest processing

time for most documents, with good print quality.

If you are having problems printing large PDF files using direct printing or CrownView

from a PC or UNIX, increase the PS Wait Timeout.

Printing large PDF files from your web browser with the QMS CrownView feature may

fail without any indication of an error. The job will appear to start normally, but then

flush without printing. The CrownView screen will indicate that the file has printed.

This is generally due to heavy network traffic, which causes the file to take longer than

usual to transfer to the printer’s spool buffer. When the PDF emulation detects the

start of data transfer, it invokes the PS Wait Timer, expecting data transfer to complete

before the timer expires. If the timer expires, the job is flushed.

To correct the problem, increase the amount of time allowed before the PS Wait Timer

expires. The factory default setting for this timeout is 30 seconds. Doubling the value

to 60 seconds should correct most problems, or the value can be set to 0 seconds,

which effectively makes the timeout period infinite.
