Filter Tab
This tab is used to define the settings that are used to convert RGB color images to
grayscale and to modify or enhance an image for best results on products.
It is important to note that the changes made in this procedure will affect every
image lased by the system. Ensure that the best possible image quality is being
used and that there is a high degree of similarity (level, contrast, etc.) among all
pictures. Verify settings with extreme image examples.
All effects from filter setting can be seen on the display if the menu item
View | Bitmap View Type | Filtered is set in the menu.

Filter Types Resize for Laser -
This filter may only be used one time on
the list and will use the DPI value found on a different
tab for the element. In general, it is only necessary to
use the Resize for Laser filter if the Unsharp Mask filter is
used. In this case, the Resize should occur just before the
Unsharp Mask.
