This section describes in detail how to specify a graphic image that
will be printed on a label, color control, color registration, and spot
color setup.
Click the Graphics tab to open the Graphics property page.
Many application programs allow label or tag design with different
colors and shades of gray. However each thermal print head can
only print one color. So by outputting different dot-patterns, each
color can be printed in what appears to be different shades.
Select one of the following four settings to suit the print requirements.
None outputs the sharpest images when printing bitmap graphics
that contain only standard solid colors, no shading.
Coarse does the best job of printing lots of different shades of
color, but will soften the edges of graphic image the most.
Fine retains greater clarity in higher resolution graphic images
than the "Coarse" setting, but cannot print as many different shades
of color.
Error diffusion creates a random pattern to avoid the regular
pattern received when using either the "Coarse" or the "Fine"
setting.
Refer to the separate color print sample sheet, and compare the
differences.
