Trap width values determine how thick the trapped area between objects is. You specify the width values relative to the paper feed direction: horizontal is perpendicular to the feed direction and vertical is parallel to the feed direction.

1. In Device Center, click Trapping under Color Setup.
2. For Trap width, specify the horizontal and vertical widths. Or, if you want to force the values to be equal, select the link icon displayed between the horizontal and vertical values. If the values are different when you select the link icon, the higher of the two values is used for both.

   • Horizontal - Defines the horizontal thickness of the trapped areas (0-10 pixels).

   • Vertical - Defines the vertical thickness of the trapped areas (0-10 pixels).
