Print using (Macintosh)
The Print using pop-up menu allows you to choose between printing an image or
saving the image to disk.
■ AppleTalk: This option prints the image to the printer currently selected in
the Chooser . When you select this option, The Printer model field
displays the name of the printer currently selected in the Chooser . If the
selected printer is not a PostScript printer, this option is unavailable
(grayed-out).
■ PostScript file: This option lets you save an image to disk as a PostScript
Level 2 file. When you click the Save button, another dialog box appears
allowing you to choose a new or existing file for saving the PostScript
code. Also, when you select this option, the
File format pop-up menu
becomes available. This pop-up menu has two options: ASCII base-85
and Binary.
ASCII base-85. This option encodes image data using an ASCII-85
filter during file output, making the resulting PostScript file portable so it
can be downloaded through interface ports that don’t support
binary data. Note that the file may be up to 25% larger.
Binary. This option outputs image data in binary format.
