Setup: Choose media size (including custom sizes), orientation, scale, and page position, as well as thumbnail and tiling options. Setup Options Select from media sizes available for the device (based on the PPD) and set orientation. Offset and Gap are available only for cut-sheet devices (such as rollfed printers or imagesetters). Choose the appropriate scaling factor and page position on the media. Thumbnails are small versions of the pages, printed with up to 7 x 7 (for a total of 49) per sheet. Tile options allow you to print a large document, such as a poster, on smaller media and then tape the tiles together manually. Marks and Bleed: Choose options for crop, bleed, and registration marks. Caution: Choosing the option to Use Document Bleed Settings won't include bleed if the Document Bleed Setting is set to zero, so check the value in the Bleed fields to confirm that they contain the appropriate value. Marks and Bleed Options Choose the marks to be imaged on output, the weight for crop and bleed marks (.125 pt, .25 pt, or .5 pt), and the marks offset (between 0 and 1 inch) to avoid impinging on artwork. Check the option to Use Document Bleed Settings only if the document has been set up with a defined bleed area (File > Document Setup). Include Slug Area allows a designated Slug area to print on output. Output: The availability of color options such as Composite CMYK, Composite Gray, Separations, In-RIP Separations, and so on, will depend on the printer chosen. While you can specify angle and frequency for each ink, your output device will probably ignore these choices. Output Options The Color options available will depend on the PPD for the target device. For example, a desktop inkjet printer will allow only RGB and Composite Gray, while a four-color laser printer will often allow Composite CMYK, Composite Gray, and separations. The Flip option allows mirrored printing (horizontal, vertical, or both). Trapping and screening are available only if separated output is chosen (or in-RIP separations). Choose Simulate Overprint to simulate the appearance of overprinted objects. The Ink Manager button launches the Ink Manager for remapping spot colors as necessary.
