Preview a print Previewing a print on the screen allows you to check the layout of the print before printing, which may help you to avoid wasting paper and ink on a bad print. ● To preview a print under Windows, you have the following options: ◦ Use your application's print preview option. ◦ Check the Show preview before printing option, which you can find in the driver's Paper/Quality tab and Features tab. The preview may be provided in different ways, depending on your printer and printer driver. ● To preview a print under Mac OS X, you have the following options: ◦ Use your application's print preview option. ◦ Only with PostScript upgrade: open the PDF menu at the bottom left of your application's Printing panel. Select the HP Print Preview option, which opens the HP Print Preview application to display the final appearance of your printed image. Printing features, such as the ability to change paper size, paper type, and print quality, or rotate the image, can be changed on the fly. ● To preview a print using the Embedded Web Server, select Basic settings > Hold for preview. Print 16-bit color images In a 16-bit RGB image, each of the three primary colors is encoded by a 16-bit value, so that each pixel takes up 48 bits. If you print your 16-bit color images through a printer driver, they will be reduced to 8-bit colors before they reach the printer. In order to send a 16-bit color image to the printer, you must save it as a 16-bit color TIFF or JPEG file, then send the file directly to the printer without using a printer driver (see Using the Embedded Web Server to print files on page 66). In this case, color management is done on the 16-bit color image, and is therefore done more accurately. The image is still reduced to 8-bit colors for final printing. ENWW Preview a print 71
