Rotating and ipping an image

In edit cell mode (1), the rotate tool (4) rotates the cell

by 90° clockwise. In edit image mode(2) and in crop

image mode(3), it rotates the image inside the cell.

Holding down the [shift] key, results in a rotation by 90°

counterclockwise. The mirror tool (5) ips the image

horizontally. Holding down the [shift] key, results in a

vertically ipping.

Cutting options for roll paper

If the selected Paper Source is Roll, PrinTao 8 displays an

additional toolbar containing cutting options (1) right

above the central working area. This toolbar is used to

dene, if and where the printer will cut the roll paper.

The option Single Cut adds a single cut mark at the end

of the document, while Cut after each row sets cut marks

just below every row of image cells. The option Border-

less on both sides of the row in addition adds a cut mark

right above each row, resulting in a print of image cell

rows without top and bottom borders. User dened

cut marks are set using the Custom option. Using this

option, a single cut mark is per default placed below the

rst row. It can be moved up or down, by moving the

cutter icon on the left or the cut line itself. A click on the

red circle icon on the right, adds a new cut mark (2). Cut

marks can also be added by right-clicking at the desired

location. Right-clicking on an existing cut mark will de-

lete it. The option Don’t cut, will set no cut marks at all.

Horizontal toolbar

Important functionalities, which are also found at other

places, are gathered together in the horizontal toolbar,

for making them quickly available. The following three

features are of special interest:
