Abstract
Disclosed is a method for enhancing print quality by adjusting a print density of a printer according to changes in the environment. Threshold tables having different threshold values corresponding to different environments of a printer engine are stored in the printer and the printer itself can perform a halftone process. According to the method, print data to be printed are first received and stored when a print operation command is received. Then, present environmental state information is received from the printer engine. Corresponding to the present environmental state information, a threshold table is selected among the threshold tables. Thereafter, the lightness of the print data is determined through the selected threshold table and the halftone process is performed. Then, the print data that is image-processed through the halftone process is transmitted to the printer engine to be printed.
