Change the treatment of overlapping lines NOTE: This topic applies only when printing an HP-GL/2 job. The merge option controls the overlapping lines in an image. There are two settings: ● Off: where the lines cross, only the color of the top line is printed. This is the default setting. ● On: where the lines cross, the colors of the two lines merge. To turn merge on, go to the front panel and press , then Default printing configuration > HP-GL/2 options > Merge. You can set the merge option from your software in some applications. Settings in your software override the front-panel settings.
