- Print
- Selecting Print from the File menu activates a dialog box that
- initates printing of the active document. The specific contents of this
- dialog box depend on the type of printer you have selected (via the
- Macintosh Chooser). Typically, text boxes will appear that allow you
- to select the number of copies, along with a variety of other options
- which are specific to your printing device. It may include:
- Copies — the number of copies to print.
- Pages — specifies the page range you want to print (unless you
- want to print the entire document). Absolute page sequence numbers
- must be preceded by a plus “+” sign. If a master page is currently
- displayed in the document window, Pages is unavailable, and the
- current master page is printed.
- Cover Page — (LaserWriter) prints a cover page for the document
- (either the first or the last page).
- Paper Source/Feed — Click Paper Cassette or Automatic for
- standard paper feeding. Click Manual Feed or Hand Feed for separate
- sheets of paper(for example, letterhead).
- Quality — (ImageWriter) Best prints with the highest quality, but is
- slowest. Faster prints standard quality, but is faster. Draft quality
- is lowest, (prints only text) but is the fastest.
- Destination — (in version 7.0 or greater of the LaserWriter
- driver) click Printer to output the document to a printer. Click
- PostScript® File to create a PostScript file of your document.
- Page Sequence — choose All, Even, or Odd from the Page
- Sequence pop-up menu to print all pages, only the even pages, or
- only the odd pages in a document. When more than one copy is
- requested, Collate will print successive copies of the complete range
- of pages, rather than a number of copies of each page in the range.
- Checking Back to Front prints the selected range of pages in reverse
- order.
- Output — Normal produces full standard output. Low Resolution
- prints pictures at low resolution. Rough is faster but substitutes a
- plain frame for fancy frames and doesn’t print pictures.
- Tiling — used for printing large documents on smaller paper.
- Specify an overlap value in the Overlap field. See the MacPublisher
- manual for details on how to perform automatic and manual tiling.
- Separation — prints an individual sheet for each color page within
- the document. All plates or a specific separation plate can be chosen
- from the Plate pop-up menu.
- Registration — places alignment marks on the edges of the
- output. These marks can be Centered or Off Center.
- Print Colors as Grays causes colors to be printed as grays that
- correspond to the color’s brightness instead of as 100% black. It is
- only effective when you aren’t color separating and when you aren’t
- printing on a color PostScript printer.
- Include Blank Pages — Checking Include Blank Pages prints pages
- containing no printable items.
- Note: The progress in downloading a job to a PostScript printer will
- be monitored in the Print Status dialog box when you click Print.
- Information displayed includes the current page, separation plate, title
- and picture being processed. You can prevent the Print Status dialog
- box from appearing by holding down the Shift key when clicking Print.
- The keyboard shortcut for Print is Cmd-P.
