Type Description

embossing effect to
the outline of the key.
You can adjust the
width and position of
the embossing and the
density. You can adjust
the density separately
for key fill and key

Fine Key and zabton
functions turn off.
Soft This softens the edge
edge of the key.
Zabton This inserts a
translucent pattern
behind a key. You can
adjust the pattern size,
softness, density and
color.
Edge type and key fill/key source position
The key edge modification function has two modes: a
mode ("key drop ON mode") in which the key fill/key
source position moves downward, and a mode ("key drop
OFF mode") in which it does not move.
Key drop ON mode: The key fill/key source position
moves downward by eight scan lines or four scan lines.
When a drop border or shadow is selected, it is
possible to apply a border to the top edge of the key.
Key drop OFF mode: The key fill/key source position
does not move. When a drop border or shadow is
selected, it is not possible to apply a border to the top
edge of the key.
In the key drop ON mode, a menu setting selects between
the mode ("4H mode") in which the key fill/key source
position is lowered by four scan lines, and the mode ("8H
mode") in which the key fill/key source position is lowered
by eight scan lines.
When Fine Key is on, the edge width is forced to the range
0.00 to 4.00.
Note that in the following situations, the key drop mode is
forcibly turned on.
• When the edge type is border, outline, or emboss
• When the edge type is normal with soft edge being on
• When fine key is on
To fix key fill / key source in key drop OFF mode
Switch frame delay mode on.
Regardless of the fine key and edge type settings, key fill
and key source are fixed in key drop off mode. In this mode
key image has a one-frame delay.
