PrinTao 8 Effortless Professional Printing
The Metadata (1) option allows to include image le
names and/ or creation dates with the print. If one of
these options is checked, this information will be added
to the lower left corner of each image cell.
Using the Zoom (3) buttons, the display size of the
central working area can be adjusted. The “Fit to
window” (4) options sets the zoom to a level, the whole
print media ts completely into the central working
area window. Zooming in and out step by step is done
using the magnifying glass buttons showing plus (7)
and minus (5) symbols, while the magnifying glass
button in the middle (6), sets the zoom to 100%.
The Media Manager (2) manages the proles for all
installed or available papers. Reducing the Installed
papers to the set of papers, which are actually used,
could lead to a clearer arrangement for the Paper
drop-down menu in the Print palette. Checked papers
in the Installed papers tab are removed by clicking the
Uninstall button. Additional papers available for the
selected printer can be easily added in the Available
papers tab. Checked papers are added by clicking the
Install button. The Custom papers tab manages user
specied papers. For adding a custom paper, initially, a
Basic paper with similar properties should be selected.
User dened ICC proles and the Advanced settings are
the next steps to Save a custom paper, which takes the
specic combination of printer and paper into account.
This selection of installed and custom papers is adjust-
ed for each available printer separately. The printer is
selected in the left column.
Preferences
The General tab denes, wether PrinTao 8 uses Inch or
Centimeter as measuring unit. An alignment help can be
activated in the Rulers tab. If the options Snap to object
center and Snap to object edges are checked, an image
cell will automatically snap into place, when moved
near to a center axis or edge of another cell. The color of
the alignment guides can be individually set. The Printer
tab allows to add or remove printer (see chapter “Install
Printers”).
