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.

| 2. | In the 'Shading' panel, choose from: |
| o | Standard: a fairly coarse pattern of dots. This is useful when exporting at lower resolutions. |
| o | Fine: a fine pattern of dots. |
| o | Gray-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.
