OUTPUT
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 Output is unchecked, images greater than 1-bit will be subsampled to twice
the lines per inch (lpi) setting.
