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.
