Setting printer options
When printing your images with ACDSee, you can specify which printer you want to use, and
set the printer options.
Printer options
Printer Specifies the printer you want to use. Select a printer from the drop-down
list and click the Properties button to set its options. Refer to the printer
manufacturer's Help file or manual for more information.
Paper size Specifies the size of the paper, e.g. Letter, Legal, A4.
Orientation Specifies Portrait or Landscape page orientation.
Copies Specifies the number of copies you want to print.
Print range Select one of the following options:
x All: prints all of the pages in the document.
x Pages from: prints a range of pages. Specify the first and last
pages of the range in the fields.
Resolution Specifies a resolution in pixels-per-inch (PPI) for the image. The higher
the value, the more dots per inch, and the higher the resolution of the
printed image. For example, 600 PPI is 360,000 (600 x 600) pixels per
square inch.
Filter Specifies the resampling filter to use when printing images. Click the drop-
down list and select one of the following:
x Box: displays considerable tiling or jaggies when you resize an
image.
x Triangle: produces good results for image reduction and
enlargement, but displays sharp transition lines.
x Bicubic: produces good results with photo-realistic images and with
images that are irregular or complex. Uses interpolation to minimize
the raggedness normally associated with image expansion.
x Bell: smoothes the image.
x B-Spline: produces smooth transitions, but may cause excessive
blurring.
x Lanczos: produces the sharpest images, but may also introduce
some ringing artifacts.
x Mitchell: produces smooth transitions when enlarging photo-realistic
images. This filter is good compromise between the ringing effect of
Lanczos and the blurring effect of other filters.
