Using [ Mask type:]
You can embed patterns and text in a document by setting in the printer driver
to prevent unauthorized copying.
❖ Setting [ Mask type:] in the printer driver
• Select a pattern from [ Mask type:], and then enter text in the [Text:] box.
• You can select overprint colour from [Black], [Cyan], or [Magenta] in the
[ Color:] list.
Note
❒ You can set only [ Text:], but [ Mask type:] and [ Text:] must be set together.
❖ Printing a document using [ Mask type:]
1. The pattern and text you have set
is printed palely.
2. The document is copied, scanned,
or stored in copiers / multifunction
machines.
3. The pattern and text you have set
appear clearly.
Note
❒ Only the RPCS printer driver is supported.
❒ You cannot partially embed patterns and text strings in a document.
❒ To make the embedded pattern clear, set the character size at least 50 pt (pref-
erably 70 to 80 pt) and character angle to between 30 and 40 degrees.
