2-18 EPS/TIFF Printing
EPS/TIFF Printing
When you download Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) and sup-
ported bitmap files (TIFF and JPEG formats) using the ColorSpan
Downloader Utility, or from the server using the DiskDirect
port, you can specify how you want the image to be resized or
scaled.
You can choose an EPS/TIFF print mode in the Port Configura-
tion dialog box (for all jobs entering the port) and the Docu-
ment Details dialog box (for a specific print job).
The following modes are available:
◆
Automatic
◆
Manual
All automatic modes except Stretch Fit preserve the original
aspect ratio of the image. You can see how the image will look
before printing by checking its Preview in the Output queue.

Sample Images Mode
Automatic Modes:
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, and snaps the page size to the
image size (without regard to the default media
size selected).
Manual Mode:
Manual Mode allows you to interactively crop,
tile, scale, flip, and rotate the file before it
reaches the RIP.
