The soft limits are determined by the IW command. Source image The graphic image that is applied to the destination image in the LaserJet print model. The interaction of the two images is determined by the current source and pattern transparency settings. Source transparency The source image is either transparent, in which case the destination image is visible throughout the white parts of the source image, or opaque, in which case the destination image is not visible at all through the source image.
