5.2.4.2 T500 Print Driver >> Pen Page
The LaserPro T500 incorporates the use of 16 different colors to represent 16 different laser power and
speed settings when cutting and engraving. These colors are referred to as "Pens". Think of each pen as a
designated laser setting, rather than as a color. As an example, a black and white image will use only one
power and speed laser setting (Black). An image that is made up of black, red and blue colors will be
processed using the laser settings designated for each particular color. In order to utilize up to 16 different
pens (laser parameter settings), make sure your graphics software can recognize and utilizes the 16 pen
colors designated by the T500 print driver.
If you would like to specify your own colors to designate to a particular laser setting, then all you have to do
is to double-click on that particular pen color from the pen menu and a color manager window will open
where you can select "define custom colors" to define your own color (shown in the picture below). This is
useful when your image is composed of colors that are not part of the pen menu's default color selection,
