Change the treatment of overlapping lines
The Merge setting controls the overlapping lines in an image. There are two settings, Off and On.
● If Merge is Off, where the lines cross only the color of the top line is printed.
● If Merge is On, where the lines cross the colors of the two lines are merged.
To turn Merge on, select the icon, then Default printing options > HP-GL/2 options > Enable
merge. You can set the merge setting from your software in some applications. Settings in your
software override the front-panel settings.
NOTE Merge settings have no effect on PostScript files.
Change the graphic language setting
Unless you are troubleshooting one of the problems mentioned below, you should not need to
change the default setting (Automatic), and you are not recommended to do so, because setting a
specific graphic language means that you will be able to print only files in that language.
To change the graphic language setting, select the icon, then Default printing options > Select
graphics language, where the following options are available.
