Change the treatment of overlapping lines
NOTE:
This topic applies only when printing an HP-GL/2 job.

●
On: where the lines cross, the colors of the two lines merge.
To turn merge on, go to the front panel and select the Setup menu icon
, then
Printing preferences
>
HP-GL/2 options
>
Enable merge
. You can set the merge option from your software in some applications.
Settings in your software override the front-panel settings.
