Saving print files

(LaserWriter 8)

Selecting the File button in the Destination area of the Print dialog box
enables you to save print data to a file. When the File button is selected, the
“Print” changes to “Save.” Saved files can later be sent to the Elite XL
using LaserWriter Utility (see page 5-9).

Clicking Save causes the save dialog box to appear. This dialog box
enables you to specify where you want the file to be saved. There are also a
number of options that can be applied to the file to be saved. These options
are available through four buttons and two pop-up menus.

Format

The Format pop-up menu allows you to select the type of PostScript or
Encapsulated PostScript format in which to save a document.

Selecting:

PostScript Job saves the document exactly as it would be sent to
the printer.

EPS Mac Standard Preview provides an additional 72 dpi
bitmap preview image for displaying the file on the Macintosh
screen. This preview image may appear distorted when placed in
other applications.

EPS Mac Enhanced Preview provides a PICT format preview
image for display on a Macintosh screen. This image can be
accurately scaled when placed in other applications.

EPS No Preview does not provide an additional preview image
for display on a Macintosh screen. Use this format when transfer-
ring the file to computers other than the Macintosh.
