You can print Encapsulated PostScript (EPS), Tagged Image
Format File (TIFF), and Joint Photographic Experts Group
(JPEG) files directly by downloading them from your workstation
using the Downloader Utility, or from the server using the
DiskDirect port.
You can apply a transformation mode to these files automatically
or manually at the RIP’s Port Configuration dialog box. If you
select automatic mode, the transformation is applied automati-
cally before printing. If you select manual mode, the job is sent to
the Attention Queue, where you can set the mode interactively
and then send the job to be printed.
The following modes are available:
Original /
Printed
Mode
Best Fit - scales the image to fit as much of the
selected media size as possible. The image is
automatically rotated if necessary for the best
fit.
Horizontal Fit - scales the image to fit the width
of the selected media size. Any image area
scaled beyond the vertical dimension of the
media size is clipped.
Vertical Fit - scales the image to fit the height of
the selected media size. Any image area scaled
beyond the horizontal dimension of the media
size is clipped.
Stretch Fit - scales the image in the horizontal
and vertical dimensions to fit the entire area of
the selected media size, without regard to
aspect ratio.
No Change - prints the image at its original size
and orientation, without regard to the default
media size selected.
Manual - allows you to interactively crop, tile,
scale, flip, and rotate the file before it reaches
the RIP.
