Device pane
Use the Device pane to control device-specific settings, including PPD selection and page positioning:
- When you specify a PPD, the Paper Size, Width, and Height fields are automatically filled with default information supplied by the PPD. If you choose a PPD for an imagesetter, the Page Gap and Paper Offset fields also will be available. You can customize the list of PPDs available in the PPD drop-down menu using the PPD Manager dialog box (Utilities menu). If you do not have the right PPD, choose a similar built-in, generic PPD.
- To specify the media size used by your printer, choose a size from the Paper Size drop-down menu.
- To specify the width and height of custom media supported by your printer, choose Custom from the Paper Size drop-down menu and enter values in the Width and Height fields. When sending output to a continuous-feed or nondrum imagesetter, use the Automatic setting in the Height field.
- To position your document on the selected output media, choose an option from the Position drop-down menu.
- The default resolution for the selected PPD is entered automatically in the Resolution field.
- For imagesetters only: Enter a value in the Paper Offset field to specify the distance that the left edge of the page will be offset (or inset) from the left edge of the roll media.
- For imagesetters only: Enter a value in the Page Gap field to specify the amount of space between pages of the layout as the pages print on the roll.
- To print negative page images, check Negative Print.
- To receive printed PostScript error reporting during output, check PostScript Error Handler.
