SettingDescription
Disable/Enable pen map Option menu that lets you disable or enable selected pen maps. This preserves the settings in the pen table file, but prevents them from affecting the print. Unless disabled, pen table pen maps override those in the printer driver configuration file.
Define/Do not define print color Option menu that lets you set or clear the print color for the selected pens.
Print color (Enabled only when Define print color is set) Lets you select an output print color via a color picker dialog. Colors are specified in RGB values.
Print transparency (Enabled only when Define print color is set) Lets you set the print transparency for the selected pen maps. Print transparency can range from 0–100%, with a value of 0% (the default) producing no transparency at all and a value of 100% producing complete transparency.
Print/Do not print in grayscale Option menu that lets you convert or not convert the print color to grayscale for the selected pens.
Define/Do not define print screening factor Sets, or clears, the print screening factor for the selected pens.
Screening factor (Enabled only when Define print screening factor is set) Lets you set the screening factor for the selected pen maps. Screening factors can range from 1–99, with a value of 100 (the default) producing no screening. A value of 50 (50% screen), for example, moves a color halfway to white. Screening can be used to save ink, or to de-emphasize elements plotted in that color.
Define/Do not define print width Sets, or clears, the printing width for the selected pens.
Print width (Enabled only when Define print width is set) Lets you input a value for the print width, in either millimeters or inches (set by the Print width units setting).
Print width units (Enabled only when Define print width is set) Option menu that lets you select either millimeters or inches as the print width units.
