PrinTao 8 Effortless Professional Printing
The template preview (3) shows all available pre-de-
ned, free and custom templates. Templates which are
not applicable (4), because they do not t within the se-
lected paper size, are crossed out and not selectable. A
switch (5) changes the type of template preview display
between icons, list and list of icons with description.
The template can also be changed, if the document
already contains images. PrinTao 8 arranges all images
according to the new template and adds new pages to
the document if necessary. Doing this, an intelligent al-
gorithm ensures to arrange all images on the print me-
dia as ecient as possible and thus ensures a minimal
paper usage. Large savings can be achieved particularly
when using a pack template.
Page overview
The Page overview palette is useful for navigating
through larger documents and for quickly gaining an
overview of all included images. Selecting a page in
the overview palette, opens this page in the general
working area. The status bar below the Page overview
window shows the number of pages and number of im-
ages included with this document.
If using a Free template, the status bar does also contain
buttons for adding new pages and for removing exist-
ing ones. For templates with xed image cells, these
buttons are obsolete.
Image properties
This palette dialog allows to view and modify basic
properties of the image – not the image cell. These
properties are image position (1), resolution (2),
angle of rotation (3), image size (4) and horizontal or
vertical ipping (5). The values displayed will change
immediately, if the selected image is moved or scaled.
Numerical values can also be directly entered into the
text elds.
