Imaging Graphics Graphics are pictorial representations of information. Graphics can be functional (charts, diagrams) or artistic (drawings, photographs). Graphics Settings let you control the visual results of your printed graphics with options determined by the selected Page Description Language. (Selections vary according to printing system model.) Pattern Scaling Pattern scaling is a feature that can help improve visual compatibility between screen display and print output. Graphics objects, such as a shape or a path, often include patterns and fills that are composed of collections of printed dots. A pattern is a planned or random repetition of colors, shapes, lines, values, and textures to create a visual arrangement. A fill is the application of a color or grayscale to a graphics object. If printed patterns and fills do not match the appearance of that on the screen, use Pattern scaling to select a different density of printed dots. In Imaging > Graphics, select Pattern scaling settings. Auto (default setting) This setting prints patterns and fills to match the on-screen appearance. Coarse This setting prints patterns and fills with the fewest number of lines, patterns, or dots. Coarse is the same as Auto when PCL XL or PCL 5e/c is selected as the PDL. Medium This setting prints patterns and fills with a greater number of lines, patterns or dots than the Coarse setting. Medium is the same as Auto when KPDL is selected as the PDL. Fine This setting prints patterns and fills with the greatest number of lines, patterns, or dots. Printed patterns and fills may appear more dense than the on-screen appearance. Line Thinning Line thinning reduces the pen width of lines used for barcodes and line drawings. Drawing values controlled by an application are not changed. In Imaging > Graphics, select Line thinning settings. Line thinning is available when PCL XL is selected in the PDL Settings dialog box. When GDI compatible mode is selected in the PDL Settings dialog box, Line thinning is not available. Off (default setting) Line thinning is not applied. Barcodes This setting reduces the pen width value for vertical and horizontal lines. It improves the readability of barcodes. Fine lines This setting reduces the pen width value for vertical, horizontal, and diagonal lines. All 8-5 User Guide

A pattern is a planned or random repetition of colors, shapes, lines, values, and
