Imaging 8-5 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 5c 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 if 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 With this feature you can reduce 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 as the PDL. When GDI compatible mode is selected in the Page Description Languages (PDL) dialog box, Line thinning is not available. In Imaging > Graphics, select a Line thinning setting. 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 This setting reduces the pen width by a value of 1 for vertical, horizontal, and diagonal line used in barcodes or line drawings. Halftone Screen Halftone screen improves the appearance of the output of a printing system. After you specify the Halftone screen setting in the driver and send the print job User Guide

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 5c
is selected as
the PDL.
Medium

or dots than the
Coarse
setting.
Medium
is the same as
Auto
if
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.

lines.
All
This setting reduces the pen width by a value of 1 for vertical, horizontal, and
diagonal line used in barcodes or line drawings.
