Graphics Settings let you select options for your printed graphics. Note: Some options are available only when a specific PDL is selected. Selecting Graphics Settings 1 In the Imaging tab, click Graphics. 2 In the Graphics Settings dialog box, select from the available options, and then click OK to save your selections. Pattern Scaling Pattern scaling is a feature that can help improve visual compatibility between screen 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 a Pattern scaling setting. 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 is selected in the PDL Settings dialog box. 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 if KPDL is selected in the PDL Settings dialog box. 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. 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. In Imaging > Graphics, select a Line thinning setting. Off (default setting) User Guide
