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.
• To print the multiple pages of the layout in thumbnail view (reduced size), check
Thumbnails.
• To flip the output vertically or horizontally, choose an option from the Page Flip
drop-down menu.
To print a large layout in sections (tiles), choose an option from the Page Tiling
drop-down menu. The application prints tickmarks and location information on each
tile to aid you in reassembling them.
• To control the way in which a page is tiled by positioning the ruler origin, choose
Manual.
• To have the application determine the number of tiles needed to print each
document page based on the layout size, the media size, whether or not Absolute
Overlap is checked, and the value in the Overlap field, choose Automatic. The
value entered in the Overlap field is the amount the application will use to extend
the page as needed to create the tile. When Absolute Overlap is checked, the
application will use only the value in the Overlap field when extending the page
to create the tile. If Absolute Overlap is unchecked, the application will use at
least the amount in the Overlap field when creating the tile, but may use a larger
amount if necessary. Do not check Absolute Overlap if you want your layout
centered on the final assembled tiles.
Pictures pane
Use the Pictures pane to control the way pictures are printed:
• To specify how pictures are printed, choose an option from the Output drop-down
menu. Normal provides high-resolution output of pictures using the data from
the pictures' source files. Low Resolution prints pictures at screen preview
resolution. Rough suppresses printout of pictures and gradients and prints a box
with the frame and an "x" in it, much like an empty picture box on screen.
• To select a format for print data, choose an option from the Data drop-down
menu. Although documents print more quickly in Binary format, the ASCII option
is more portable because it is a standard format readable by a wider range of
printers and print spoolers. The Clean 8-bit option combines ASCII and binary
in a versatile and portable file format.
• Check Overprint EPS Black to force all black elements in imported EPS pictures
to overprint (regardless of their overprint settings in the EPS file).
• To print 1-bit TIFFs at full resolution (not to exceed the resolution specified in
the Device list item), check Full Resolution TIFF Output. If Full Resolution TIFF
