l
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 oriented page, or in a rotated orientation on a
portrait oriented page. Note that images that 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.
l
Color conversion: Select As is to keep the color information included in the images. Select Grayscale
to convert color images to gray scale.
l
Naming convention: Select ’File name, original’ to store the file under its original file name. Select
’File name, no extension’ to store the file without its original file name extension. Note that all
characters are converted to uppercase and that extended characters (characters, such as é, for
example) are not recommended in image file names.
l
Image quality: Select the same image quality chosen in the PlanetPress Design documents that
reference the image files you are sending. In PlanetPress Design, this setting is included in the
document’s resource options.
