Summary pane
The Summary pane displays a summary of the settings in the other panes.
Page preview area
The Print dialog box (File menu) for Print layouts provides a graphical depiction of the
output page called the page preview area. The page preview area does not display the actual
items on the layout pages; rather, it represents the shape and orientation of the pages in
relation to the target media.
• 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 XTensions software (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" illustrates rotation, positive/negative, and flip.
• The arrow to the left of the graphic preview indicates the film or page feed direction.
• Below 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 (Marks pane), they are also displayed in the page
preview area.
• If Thumbnails is checked (Pages pane), a preview with thumbnails displays.
