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.
