Adjusting Security Watermark Calibration
For a security watermark to be effective, it must be nearly invisible in a printed
page and clearly visible in a photocopied page. Because printing systems and
driver settings can vary, you must adjust the calibration before printing a
security watermark. Adjusting the calibration is also recommended when
changing the background pattern, replacing the toner or printing system, and
after heavy printing activity.
1
After all security watermark options are selected in the Add Watermark or Edit
Watermark dialog box, click Adjust Calibration.
2
Under Pattern shading and Text contrast, select initial options:
Light, Normal, Dark
Select the shading density of the background pattern.
Contrast 1-9
Select the level of contrast against the background pattern, from lightest to
darkest.
These selections may need to be changed after printing a sample in the next
step.
3
Click Print Sample to print a page displaying all nine contrast options against
the selected pattern shading. It is recommended to print a sample page for each
pattern shading option.

From the Text Contrast Sheet, find the sample where the security watermark is
most nearly invisible.
5
In the Adjust Calibration dialog box, select options to match the sample
chosen in step 4.

In all dialog boxes, click OK.
