45 10*10 dithering
Pattern Type – The halftone pattern has three kinds of layout options, which determine the
shape of each grid/ dot to compose the shading effect of raster image.
z Dot
A halftone pattern consists of circle dots.
z Corner
The dark dot spread from the left upper corner of the pattern result in a little
triangle shape to imitate a shading effect.
z Bayer
A random halftone pattern which is defined by Bayer. The principal advantage
of this type of dithering is to smooth the banding effect obtained with ordered clustered
dithering.
z 45 degree
a halftone pattern consists of 45 degree matrix of dot arrangement
NOTE
: The B/W mode reads the processed image by shade and light, and if the image is a colorful
one, different color would get different shading effect. Usually we would suggest transform the colorful
image to a black and white one before output by a laser under B/W mode.
A-2 Manual Color Fill Mode–
Activate this mode when you wish to designate specific power and
speed settings to certain colors in your image. The ZX SERIES driver has 16 available pen settings to
choose from.
A-3 3D Mode –
With this mode you can automatically get a sculptured 3D effect. Using images that
have gray areas, the ZX SERIES driver can manipulate the image to give it added depth. This mode
can be adjusted with the DPI, PPI, power and speed settings.

A-4 Stamp Mode
-- Stamp production is one of the most dynamic functions of the Pinnacle ZX
SERIES. Due the nature of the engraving, stamp production requires different operational steps than
most engraving or cutting. In order to create stamps, select the Stamp Mode and the corresponding
settings: Set Shoulder, Pitch, Border, Invert, and Mirror. (see fig.6-)
NOTE:
The Cluster and automatic Border settings are located in ZX SERIES driver Properties
