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.

Medium is the same as Auto when 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.
