When rotating an element, the laser line or scan 
direction will also change.

Output Size
The x/y dimensions (mm or pixels) of the bitmap.
Enhance Edge Selection of this feature uses different laser settings to 
increase contrast at gray level edges, for example at a 
white-to-black or black-to-white transition. It is 
recommended for most types of elements containing 
black and white content (few or no gray pixels). 
Examples include text, barcodes, signatures, and logos. 
It should not be used for portraits. 
Enhance edge mode may be slower than non-
enhanced edge mode.
Note: Enhance edge is activated by default for 
bitmapped text and barcodes, deactivated by default 
for bitmap images.
Negative Inverts the gray levels of the image (black = white; white 
= black)
