Print Preferences
Available Printers Preferences
The Available Printers preferences control which printer definitions are available when
generating print output or creating Output Presets. Any printer that is unchecked in this dialog
will not be visible in the "Model" drop-down of the Print Options dialog; see "Print Options" on
page596 and "Adding print output models to the Print Wizard" on page796.
Available Printer Preferences:
l
Selected Printers: Lists the available Printer Definition Files in the system. Note that
these are not installed Windows printers or printer queues, but PrintShop Mail Connect
Printer Definition Files.
l
Printer checkbox: This checkbox selects/deselects all printers in the list. Click to check
all, click again to uncheck all.
General Print Preferences
The General Print Preferences are used to set communication settings with the PrintShop Mail
Connect Server module that does the actual generation of print output. The Server module can
be located on the same computer (hostname: localhost) or on a different machine. Multiple
Designer modules can use a single Server module to generate Print output, as long as the
appropriate hostname, username and password are provided. In essence, this can be used to
create a single Print Server.
l
External sort command timeout (seconds): Enter the number of seconds to wait for an
external sort command before giving up. External sort commands are set up in the Sorting
Options page of a Job Creation Preset.
Print Measurements Preferences

unit in the Attributes pane or in the Box Properties dialog.
l Flip insert guide axis: Check this option to flip the axis on which guides are inserted.
