Visual Effects Settings

The following settings allow you to manipulate the printed image to achieve special effects.

Flip Horizontal and Flip Vertical rotate the image 180° along the horizontal or vertical axis. Text then appears backwards or upside down.

Invert Image changes black areas to white and white areas to black. This option is available only when you select Monochrome ink and No Halftoning.

Screen pattern determines how shaded patterns are printed. When Screen pattern is on, the printer prints shaded areas as they appear on your computer screen. If you turn it off (the default setting), shaded patterns are converted to halftones. Normally you should turn off Screen pattern when printing.

By default, the printer expects letter-size (8.5 × 11 inches) paper. To select a different paper size, choose Page Setup in the File menu of your application program.
