OUTPUT
rather, it represents the shape and orientation of the pages in relation to the target
media.
On Mac OS X, the page preview area has been enhanced. The page preview area will
display the actual items on the layout pages or the specified pages; it represents the
actual page.
The blue rectangle represents the layout page. •
The green rectangle represents the imageable area for the selected media. •
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 (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 create host-based separations, please create a composite PDF out of QuarkXPress
and then use a PDF tool to separate plates.
To print color separations using In-RIP Separations please do the following:
Display the Color pane of the Print dialog box (File menu). 1.
Choose Separation from the Mode drop-down menu. 2.
Choose an option from the Setup drop-down list: 3.
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
