Scan orientation: Select Side to side for images that will be printed in their original
orientation on a portrait oriented page, or in a rotated orientation on a landscape page.
Select Top to bottom for images that will be printed in a rotated orientation on a portrait

are meant to be printed in various ways can be stored twice on the printer as two identical
copies of the same file that bear different names (Image_Original.tif and Image_
Rotated.tif, for example). The first copy can be processed using a Send Images to
Printer action task with the scan orientation set to Side to side, the second one with a
different Send Images to Printer action task with the scan orientation set to Top to
bottom, each one typically being included on two different branches of the same process.

names.

documents that reference the image files you are sending. In PlanetPress Design, this
