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 Imaging > Graphics, select a Pattern scaling setting.
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 5e 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 if 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.
Line thinning reduces the pen width of lines used for barcodes and line
drawings. Drawing values controlled by an application are not changed.
Line thinning is available when PCL XL is selected in the PDL Settings dialog
box. When GDI compatible mode is selected in the PDL Settings dialog box,
Line thinning is not available.
In Imaging > Graphics, select a Line thinning setting.
Off (default setting)
Line thinning is not applied.
Barcodes
This setting reduces the pen width value for vertical and horizontal lines. It
improves the readability of barcodes.
Fine lines
This setting reduces the pen width value for vertical, horizontal, and diagonal
lines.
