56 Scripting Illustrator When printing, you may provide an options parameter to more fully control the printing process. Illustrator CS supports an extensive list of new printing options, all of which have default values. As a scripter, you can override any one of these printing options. If you do not override those printing options or if you override those printing options with illegal values (such as specifying a printer or paper that does not exist), an error will be returned. The following lists the categories of printing options that you can specify. Each one of these categories is optional. Within each category, default values have been provided for all properties. Print Option Printer name PPD file name Print style name Paper options Print job options Color separation options Page marks options Coordinate options Font options PostScript options Color management Flattener options Description Name of the selected priner File name of the selected PPD file Specifies the printing style Specifies the paper name and custom paper sizes Options which control things such as number of print copies Specifies the separation mode, ink list, etc. Controls the printing of page marks Specifies the positioning and scaling of artwork on the media Controls the fonts used for printing Controls parameters such as the PostScript LanguageLevel Sets color profiles Controls the transparency flattening The print settings are determined through the following precedence order: 1. The print style settings, if any are specified, will override the default print settings. 2. The specific printing options (if there are any) will override the print style settings. Transformation matrices Thanks to the matrix class and the many commands that support matrices, you have access to the power of geometric transformation matrices. Transformation matrices are mathematical concepts originating in the field of linear algebra. Geometric manipulations like scaling, rotating and moving can all be described using transformation matrices. 12 Aug 03
