Adjusting Security Watermark Calibration

2

For a security watermark to be effective, it must be nearly invisible in a printed page and clearly visible in a photocopied page. Because printing systems and driver settings can vary, you must adjust the calibration before printing a security watermark. Adjusting the calibration is also recommended when changing the background pattern, replacing the toner or printing system, and after heavy printing activity.

After all security watermark options are selected in the Add Watermark or Edit Watermark dialog box, click Adjust Calibration.

Under Pattern shading and Text contrast, select initial options:

Light, Normal, Dark

Select the shading density of the background pattern.

Contrast 1-9

Select the level of contrast against the background pattern, from lightest to darkest.

These selections may need to be changed after printing a sample in the next step.

Click Print Sample to print a page displaying all nine contrast options against the selected pattern shading. It is recommended to print a sample page for each pattern shading option.

From the Text Contrast Sheet, find the sample where the security watermark is most nearly invisible.

In the Adjust Calibration dialog box, select options to match the sample chosen in step 4.

In all dialog boxes, click OK.
