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
l
Units: Use the drop-down to specify the default measurements system used for
dimensions of the template and boxes. In addition it defines the coordinates/position of
box elements.
The default unit will be added automatically when geometry values are entered without a
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.
Normally, dragging a guide from a horizontal ruler inserts a horizontal guide (see
"Guides" on page269). With this option checked, dragging a guide from a horizontal ruler
inserts a vertical guide.
The Print Preferences also provides you with buttons to :
l
Test Print Server URL. This button is only available for the General Print Preferences. It
tests the Print Server URL settings made within that Preferences page.
l Restore Defaults. This option restores the preferences to Defaults. This applies to the
current Preferences page only, but not other Preferences.
l
Apply: This option Applies the settings made within the current Preferences page, but
does not close the Preferences dialog.
