Imaging Graphics Disabling Device Fonts 1 In Imaging > Fonts, select the Disable device fonts check box. 2 Click OK to save your settings. Graphics are pictorial representations of information. Graphics can be functional (charts, diagrams) or artistic (drawings, photographs). With Graphics Settings you can control the visual results of your printed graphics with options that can be set by the selected Page Description Language (PDL). 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 Line thinning reduces 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 8-5 User Guide
