Graphics 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
With this feature, you 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
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.
Line thinning is available only 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.
