Pages pane

Use the Pages pane to specify page orientation, tiling, page flipping, and related options:

  • To specify whether to print in portrait or landscape mode, click an Orientation radio button (Portrait or Landscape).
  • To include blank pages in the output, check Include Blank Pages.
  • To print multiple pages of a layout on one sheet of paper at a reduced size, check Thumbnails.
  • To flip the output vertically or horizontally, choose an option from the Page Flip drop-down menu.

To print a large layout in sections (tiles), choose an option from the Page Tiling drop-down menu. The application prints tickmarks and location information on each tile to aid you in reassembling them.

  • To control the way in which a page is tiled by positioning the ruler origin, choose Manual.
  • To have the application determine the number of tiles needed to print each document page based on the layout size, the media size, whether or not Absolute Overlap is checked, and the value in the Overlap field, choose Automatic. The value entered in the Overlap field is the amount the application will use to extend the page as needed to create the tile. When Absolute Overlap is checked, the application will use only the value in the Overlap field when extending the page to create the tile. If Absolute Overlap is unchecked, the application will use at least the amount in the Overlap field when creating the tile, but may use a larger amount if necessary. Do not check Absolute Overlap if you want your layout centered on the final assembled tiles.
