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.

In Advanced > Security Watermark, click Add to create a custom security watermark; or under Select security watermark, select a default or custom security watermark and click Edit.

After all security watermark options are selected in the Add Security Watermark or Edit Security 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.
