QuickDraw GX 5-13

Page Setup and Print dialog boxes

Page Setup and Print dialog boxes (unadopted applications)

If QuickDraw GX is enabled and you are printing from an application that has
not adopted QuickDraw GX (see page 5-1), the application will display
alternate Page Setup and Print dialog boxes.

The dialog boxes will display standard page setup and print options (paper size,
orientation, scaling, etc.), plus any printer-specific options (e.g., paper sizes,
resolution) available with the selected desktop printer. Note: Not all printer-
specific options will be available (e.g., AccuGray) from the alternate dialog
boxes.

Note:

The alternate dialog boxes may not be accessed the same way (i.e., choosing

Page Setup and Print from the File menu) in all applications. For example, in
PageMaker 5.0.x., the alternate Page Setup and Print dialog boxes are accessed by
choosing Print from the File menu and then clicking Setup in the Print dialog box.

Page Setup dialog box

The Page Setup dialog box pictured below appears in applications that have
not adopted QuickDraw GX.

The Page Setup dialog enables you to choose:

Paper (paper size)

Orientation

Reduce or Enlarge (scaling)

Pages per Sheet (n-up printing)

Options (Flip horizontal, Flip Vertical, Invert Image, and Precision Bitmap
Alignment)

The Custom pop-up menu displays the additional paper sizes supported by the
selected desktop printer.

Note:

The default paper size for GCC GX drivers is US Letter. However, it has been

observed that some applications will default to some other paper size.
