Table Of Contents
A black rectangle represents the media area when a sheet-fed device is chosen in
the PPD drop-down menu (Device pane).
A gray area surrounding the layout represents bleeds when a bleed setting is chosen
using the Custom Bleeds XTensions software (Bleed pane).
If the page size, including crop marks and/or bleed, is greater than the imageable
area of the print media, a red area indicates portions of the layout that are outside
the imageable area and will therefore be clipped. If Automatic tiling is enabled
in the Pages pane, the red area does not display.
An R will display for the Negative Print. Pages will rotate as per the orientation
and the paper size.
The arrow to the left of the graphic preview indicates the film or page feed
direction.
To the left of the graphic preview are two smaller icons. The cut-sheet icon
indicates that you have selected a cut-sheet output device from the PPD drop-down
menu (Device pane), whereas a roll-fed icon indicates that you have selected a
roll-fed output device from the PPD drop-down menu. The question mark is a
drop-down button that displays a legend of the colors used in the page preview
area.
If registration marks are turned on (Registration Marks pane), they are also
displayed in the page preview area.
If Thumbnails is checked (Pages pane), a preview with thumbnails displays.
Printing color separations
To print color separations:
1
Display the Color pane of the Print dialog box (File menu).
2
Choose Separation from the Mode drop-down menu.
3
Choose an option from the Setup drop-down list:
The In-RIP Separations option prints all process and spot color plates and the
output is in the composite format. However, the PostScript file to be printed
contains separations information. The In-RIP Separations option must be selected
only if you are using a PostScript level 3 device. Note also that the Setup
drop-down menu also contains all separations-based output setups listed in the
Default Output Setups dialog box (Edit > Output Setups).
4
Choose an option from the Halftones drop-down menu:
To use the halftone settings you specify, choose Conventional.
To use the halftone settings built into the RIP, choose Printer. Choosing this
option disables the halftone controls in this pane.
5
To specify a line frequency other than the default value, enter a lines per inch (lpi)
value in the Frequency field, or choose an option from the Frequency drop-down
menu.
