Transformed halftone images are poor quality

When you transform GIF, JPEG, PDF, PS, or TIFF data to AFP for printing on an InfoPrint 4100-TS or InfoPrint 4100-TD printer using PQI toner, it can be difficult to determine the right halftone.

If the results are not as expected, consult the InfoPrint Transform Feature information center to determine the value to set for the Transform halftone property in the TransformJobIntoAFP step template.

If you used a Transform feature to transform the file, view the Transform features log to determine the parameters that were passed to the Transform feature:

  1. In a Web browser, navigate to http://server_name:16080/itm.
  2. Log into the Transform features user interface. The default password is nopassword.
  3. On the Main page next to the Export traces button, select Actions View log. You see the log information for the jobs.
  4. Look in the Message column for job parameters. The value of the -thresh parameter is the halftone that was used to transform the job.
