Print dialog box reference InDesign CS provides a wide range of printing options which may seem overwhelming at first, but the comprehensive range of options lets you precisely customize printing settings for your shop's workflow. Once you've determined the best combinations of settings for 63 InDesign in your shop, save those combinations as print presets. You may then be able to run many of your jobs simply by choosing a preset from the Printer Preset menu at the top of the dialog box. Your shop's goal should be to prepare print presets for the most common types of output so that InDesign files print easily and consistently. You can change all printer options from the Print dialog box.
