• 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 multiple pages of a layout on one sheet of paper at a 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 blends 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.
