Shading options affect the way shaded areas in a PCL file are displayed and how they are output to all formats. In PCL there are several levels of shading defined and they are implemented as dot patterns on a PCL printer.

EscapeE Shading options

1.Select the Images page of the Configuration dialog (function key f8): see Image import/export options.
2.In the 'Shading' panel, choose from:
oStandard: a fairly coarse pattern of dots. This is useful when exporting at lower resolutions.
oFine: a fine pattern of dots.
oGray-scale: solid gray; unlike the dot patterns, this will not be transparent. Not suitable for simple (1-bit) monochrome images, it is good for some types of PDF: see also PDF export options for notes on Keep original element order

You may opt to Ignore shading: see Optimizing the output.
