HP Designjet 4520 Printer series - Manual (Page 75)

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.
● Select Automatic to let the printer determine which type of file it is receiving. This setting works
for most software applications.
● Select HP-GL/2 if you are not working with PostScript files, and you have experienced image
position problems or timing problems.
● Select PS if you are printing only PostScript files and your PostScript jobs do not start with the
standard PostScript header (%!PS) and do not include PJL language switching commands.
Alternatively, select PS if you have experienced problems while downloading PostScript fonts. In
this case, please reselect Automatic after you have downloaded the fonts.
If you are downloading fonts over a USB connection, select the icon, then Default printing
options > PS options > Select encoding > ASCII.
● Select TIFF, JPEG, PDF or CALS G4 only if you are sending a file of the appropriate type directly
to the printer without going through a printer driver. This is normally done only from the Embedded
Web Server, in which case the language setting is done by the Embedded Web Server and you
do not have to do it yourself.
NOTE: The PS and PDF options are available with PostScript printers only.
