Using [Mask type:]

You can embed patterns and texts 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 texts in the [Text:] box.

  • You can set only [Text:], but [Mask type:] and [Text:] must be set together.

Printing a document using [Mask type:]

Illustration of 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.

  • Printing at 200×200 dpi is not possible.

  • You cannot partially embed patterns and texts strings in a document.

  • To make the embedded pattern clear, set the character size to at least 50 pt. We also recommend you set the character size to between 70 and 80 pt and the character angle to between 30 and 40 degrees.

  • Due to the effects of the settings, the results of copying, scanning, and saving documents in the document server may vary depending on the machine model and setting conditions.

  • Printing with background patterns and texts may be slower than normal printing.

  • For details about setting [Mask type:], see the printer driver Help.
