Page 96: Rotating or nesting your images. see, Use paper
Autorotation allows you to defer the decision of rotating a page until printing time. This may be useful if
you routinely work with different roll sizes and want to ensure that jobs will not be clipped or waste
unnecessary paper width if and when roll conditions change.
TIP:
Autorotation is particularly useful when combined with the Minimize paper waste roll
switching option (see
Roll switching options on page 25
To enable autorotation:
●
In the Windows driver dialog: select the Features tab, then Autorotate.
●
In the Mac OS Print dialog: go to the Finishing panel and select Autorotate.
●
On the Embedded Web Server's Submit Job page: select Advanced settings > Roll
options > Autorotate.
●
In the front panel: select the Setup menu icon
, then Job management > Autorotate.
NOTE:
If autorotation is set from your computer, it overrides the setting in the front panel.
NOTE:
The autorotate decision requires known job dimensions. Therefore, printing does not start until
the job has been completely processed, regardless of the When to Start Printing setting (see
when to print a job in the queue on page 107
); and, if you request Autorotate and Remove
blank areas, only the latter will be done.
TIP:
Once the job is rendered and ready for reprints, autorotation may take a few minutes,
depending on job dimensions and resolution. To speed up autorotated reprints, send the job to render
when the roll configuration meets your planned scenario, and leave last-minute autorotation only to
correct unexpected changes in roll conditions. This applies to TIFF/JPEG/PS/PDF jobs only.
Print in gray shades
You can convert all colors in your image to shades of gray in the following ways:
●
In your application program: many programs provide this option.
●
In the Windows driver dialog: go to the Color tab and look at the Color Options section.
Select Print in Grayscale.
●
In the Mac OS X Print dialog: go to the Color Options panel and select Grayscale from
the Mode drop-down list.
●
On the Embedded Web Server's Submit Job page: select Color > Color/Grayscale >
Print in grayscale.
Use paper economically
Here are some recommendations for making economical use of paper:
●
If you are printing relatively small images or document pages, you can use nesting to print them
side by side instead of one after another. See
Nest jobs to save paper on page 89
.
●
If you are printing multipage documents with relatively small pages, you can print up to 16 of
them on one sheet of paper. Use the Pages per sheet option in the Features tab (Windows
driver) or the Layout panel (Mac OS driver).
