Using [Mask Type:] - Ricoh Printer Quick Installation Manual

Using [Mask type:]

You can embed patterns and texts in a document by setting in the printer driver to prevent unauthorized
copying.
Setting [Mask type:] in the printer driver
• Select a pattern from [Mask type:], and then enter texts in the [Text:] box.
• You can set only [Text:], but [Mask type:] and [Text:] must be set together.
Printing a document using [Mask type:]
1. The pattern and text you have set is printed palely.
2. The document is copied, scanned, or stored in copiers/ multifunction machines.
3. The pattern and text you have set appear clearly.
• Only the RPCS printer driver is supported.
• Printing at 200 200 dpi is not possible.
• You cannot partially embed patterns and texts strings in a document.
• To make the embedded pattern clear, set the character size at least 50 pt (preferably 70 to 80 pt)
and character angle to between 30 and 40 degrees.
