The panes in the Print dialog box are described in the topics below.
Device pane
Use the Device pane to control device-specific settings, including PPD selection and
page positioning:
When you specify a PPD, the Paper Size, Width, and Height fields are automatically
filled with default information supplied by the PPD. If you choose a PPD for an
imagesetter, the Page Gap and Paper Offset fields also will be available. On Windows
you can customize the list of PPDs available in the PPD drop-down menu using the
PPD Manager dialog box (Utilities menu). On Mac OS X you will have to install the
PPDs in the MAC HD > Library > Printers > PPDs folder, and relaunch
QuarkXPress. All of the PPDs will now be listed in the PPDs list in the Print dialog. If
you do not have the right PPD, choose a similar built-in, generic PPD.
To specify the media size used by your printer, choose a size from the Paper Size
drop-down menu.
To specify the width and height of custom media supported by your printer, choose
Custom from the Paper Size drop-down menu and enter values in the Width and
Height fields. When sending output to a continuous-feed or nondrum imagesetter,
use the Automatic setting in the Height field.
To position your document on the selected output media, choose an option from the
Position drop-down menu.
The default resolution for the selected PPD is entered automatically in the Resolution
field.
For imagesetters only: Enter a value in the Paper Offset field to specify the distance that
the left edge of the page will be offset (or inset) from the left edge of the roll media.
For imagesetters only: Enter a value in the Page Gap field to specify the amount of space
between pages of the layout as the pages print on the roll.
To print negative page images, check Negative Print.
To receive printed PostScript error reporting during output, check PostScript Error
Handler.
Pages pane
Use the Pages pane to specify page orientation, tiling, page flipping, and related
options:
To specify whether to print in portrait or landscape mode, click an Orientation radio
button (Portrait or Landscape).
To include blank pages in the output, check Include Blank Pages.
