Preview a print
Previewing a print on the screen allows you to check the layout of the print before printing, which may
help you to avoid wasting paper and ink on a bad print.
● To preview a print under Windows, you have the following options:
◦ Use your application's print preview option.
◦ Check the Show preview before printing option, which you can find in the driver's Printing
Shortcuts tab, Paper/Quality tab and Features tab. When you later click the Print button,
your job will be sent to the printer, which will display the print preview on your screen. You
can use the preview to check the print settings and the layout of the image, and then click
Print to proceed with printing or Cancel to cancel the job.
● To preview a print under Mac OS, you have the following options:
◦ Use your application's print preview option.
◦ Click the Preview button at the bottom of the Print dialog box. This is the basic print preview
provided by Mac OS.
◦ If you are using the PostScript driver (with the T1120ps), check the Show print preview
option, which you can find in the driver's Printing dialog, in the Finishing panel. This preview
is provided by the Embedded Web Server and will appear in a Web browser window.
◦ If you are using the PCL driver (with the T1120), click the PDF button at the bottom of the
Print dialog box, then click HP Print Preview. This provides a preview with more features,
such as the ability to change paper size, paper type and print quality, and to rotate the image.
NOTE: HP Print Preview is not available if you are using Adobe InDesign, Adobe Illustrator,
Adobe Reader or Apple Aperture.
● To preview a print using the Embedded Web Server, select Basic settings > Hold for preview.
