User Manual

[Minimum line width]
The minimum line width function is required to keep thin lines visible. The lines in PS/PDF jobs
always keep a minimum width of 1/600 inch. However, when you print special data such as CAD
drawings, smaller lines may be required. Therefore, you can turn the minimum line width
function off. Then even thinner lines will be printed. This option ensures that all lines are visible
in the printed document. You can select:
• [Printer default]
Use the minimum line width of the selected printer.
• [Light]
Print all lines with a minimum line width of 1/1200 inch.
• [Normal]
Print all lines with a minimum line width of 1/600 inch.
• [Off]
Disable the [Minimum line width] option. Thin lines might not be printed in the document.
This setting is not available for all printer models.
[Halftone]
A halftone image is made up of a series of dots rather than a continuous tone. Larger dots are
used to represent darker, more dense areas of the image, while smaller dots are used for lighter
areas. As long as the resolution of the image is high enough, the dots appear as a continuous
image to the human eye. Select the [Halftone] setting.
• [Printer default]
Use the halftone defined in the selected printer when no value is provided.
This setting is not available for all printer models.
[Brightness]
You can overrule the defined brightness settings in the document, without losing the original
brightness settings. You can change the tonal values of an image. Or, you can compensate for the
media that you print on. For example, the brightness and contrast will be different for glossy
paper than for canvas.

Use the slider to select a value.
