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 the Imaging tab, click Graphics to open the Graphics settings dialog box and access the Pattern scaling settings.

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 in the PDL Settings dialog box.

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 when KPDL is selected in the PDL Settings dialog box.

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.

Inversion Settings

Inversion is the opposite of the normal order, arrangement, or position of an image or printed content.

In the Imaging tab, click Graphics to open the Graphics settings dialog box and access the Inversion options. The settings are available when KPDL is selected in the PDL Settings dialog box.

Reverse image

This setting prints images like a photo negative, reversing black and white areas of the image.

Mirror print

This setting prints the page content backwards, as it would appear in a mirror image.

Optimization Settings

Optimization is a process or methodology of improving a printing system's function or effectiveness.

In the Imaging tab click Graphics to open the Graphics settings dialog box and access the Optimization settings. The settings are available when KPDL is selected in the PDL Settings dialog box.
