Abstract:
When a corrected pixel value of a target pixel is within a first range and the target pixel is not a prohibited pixel, a first value indicating formation of a dot of a first type having a minimum size is determined as a pixel value of a print pixel corresponding to the target pixel. When the corrected pixel value is within a second range different from the first range and the target pixel is not the prohibited pixel, a second value indicating formation of a dot of a second type having a size greater than the dot of the first type is determined as the pixel value of the print pixel. When the corrected pixel value is within the first range and the target pixel is the prohibited pixel, a non-formation value indicating formation of no dots is determined as the pixel value of the print pixel

Claim (Index 8):
The control apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the judging whether or not the target pixel is a prohibited pixel includes:\n allocating a plurality of numerical values to the plurality of pixels, respectively; by using allocation-value error amounts corresponding to two or more neighboring pixels located at positions neighboring to the target pixel, modifying the numerical value allocated to the target pixel, thereby obtaining a modified allocation value for the target pixel; comparing the modified allocation value for the target pixel with a third threshold value, thereby judging whether or not the target pixel is the prohibited pixel; in a case where it is determined that the target pixel is the prohibited pixel, determining, as the allocation-value error amount corresponding to the target pixel, a difference between the modified allocation value for the target pixel and a prescribed value; and in a case where it is determined that the target pixel is not the prohibited pixel, determining the modified allocation value for the target pixel as the allocation-value error amount corresponding to the target pixel.
