Maximum Print Area The Maximum Print Area determines the printable area that will be assigned to that job. In most cases, the Maximum Print Area is the page size of the media loaded in your printer. Size and Origin Values Size and Origin Values control the dimensions of your image. Width - controls the width of your image Height - controls the height of your image Magnification - increases or reduces the size of your image by a factor of the current size X Origin -the X Origin crops an image along the X axis Y Origin -the Y Origin crops an image along the Y axis NOTE: If you need to print an image larger than your Maximum Print Area, you must Enable Tiling. Image Setup The Image Setup area contains the rotation and Image Flip features. Rotating an Image - Rotating an image allows you to place an image more efficiently on your media. You can select any of the following rotations: 0º, 90º, 180º, or 270º. See Rotating & Flipping an Image for more information. Image Flip - Image Flip creates a reverse image of the original file. This feature is normally used when printing on backlit or transparencies. See Rotating & Flipping an Image for more information. PS Setup The PS Setup area controls how PostScript files are handled. If your image is a raster image, the PS Setup area is disabled. Page Num - The Page Num value specifies which page of a multi-page PostScript file is processed and printed. To print all pages, select 1/All. Enlargement - The Enlargement option is similar to Magnification. It does not change the Width, Height, or Magnification of the image. Instead, it increases the image without increasing the bounding box. This results in a cropped image when using an enlargement larger than 100%, and a smaller image with extra white space around it when using an enlargement smaller than 100%. The bottom-left corner remains fixed when using enlargement. Crop Outside Page - Crop Outside Page allows cropping beyond the bounding box. Crop Outside Page is automatically turned on when you use the Swap Width & Height feature. Submit pages Separately- Submit Pages Separately only appears when the job is a multiple page pdf file. By checking this option, each page will be sent to the RIP as a single job. Swap Width & Height - Use Swap Width & Height to automatically switch the width and height of the crop box. Using this feature enables the Crop Outside Page checkbox. Original PS Settings - Original PS Settings resets all PostScript settings to the settings found in the PostScript file. Properties - Properties opens the Job Properties dialog. See Job Properties for more information. Apply The Apply button applies all of your changes to your job by performing a soft render.	Figure 1
