You can modify the page layout of your document using the printer driver settings located in the Layout dialog box, shown below. To open this dialog box, click Print on the File menu of your application and click the Layout icon button in the Print dialog box. The Layout dialog box appears.
The Layout dialog box allows you to automatically match the document size to the paper size, place watermarks on documents, print two or four pages on a single sheet of paper, print poster-size images by enlarging one page to cover several sheets, or set the order in which you would like the pages of your document to print.
You can also set the print order for your printout. Select collate to print one set at a time, or Reverse Order to determine the order in which you print multiple copies of your document.
You can proportionally enlarge or reduce the size of the image to make it fit the paper size you select in the Paper Size list. To do this, select the Fit to Page check box, then specify the paper size you loaded in the printer in the Paper Size list.
To print a watermark in the background of your printed documents or images, select the Watermark check box in the Page Layout dialog box.
Select the watermark you want to print from the Name list, then specify its position, size, color, and intensity. You can change the position and size of the watermark by dragging it with your mouse in the preview window at the left.
You can also add your own text-based or image-based watermarks to the Name list. Follow these steps.
Click the Add/Del button beside the Name list. The following dialog box appears. |
To use an image file as a watermark, click the Add PICT button. Specify the desired image file, then click Open. |
To create a text-based watermark, click the Add Text button. Type the text in the Text box, select a font and a text style, then click OK.
The image file name or the watermark text appears in the Mark Name list in the Watermark dialog box. To change the name of an image watermark, click it in the list, then type a new name. When a text watermark is selected in the Name list, you can edit the text, and change the font and text style, by clicking the Edit Text button. |
Click OK to add your watermark to the Name list in the Page Layout dialog box. |
To print two or four pages of your document on one sheet of paper, select the Multi-Page check box in the Page Layout dialog box, then click N-up.
You can make the following settings.
2 Pages |
Prints two or four pages of your document on a single piece of paper. |
Page Order |
Allows you to specify the order in which the pages will be printed on the sheet of paper. |
Print page frames |

A single document page can be enlarged to cover 4, 9, or 16 printed sheets of paper. To print a poster-size image, select the Multi-Page check box in the Page Layout dialog box, then click Poster.
You can make the following settings.
1 page covers xx sheets |
Specifies how many printed sheets of paper the enlarged document page is to cover. You can select 4, 9, or 16 pages. |
Print Cutting Guidelines |
Prints border lines on the images to guide you when trimming the pages. |
Overlapping Panels |
Slightly overlaps the images so that they can be aligned more precisely. |
If you only want to print a few of the panels without printing the entire poster, click Panel Selection, then click the panels you don't wish to print, and then click OK. Only the panels that you did not click will be printed.
