Chapter 3: Installing the Software
Layout Options
Clicking this button on the Setup tab lets you
choose between normal printing and two special
printing options.
Reduce for Proof-sheet, Thumbnail or
N-up Printing
This feature allows you to print multiple reduced-
size pages on one sheet of paper. You can choose
to print 2, 4, 6, 9, or 16 pages up (the number of
reduced pages to print on each sheet of paper).
N-up printing is useful for saving paper on drafts,
or for presentation handouts and lets you quickly
scan multiple pages at a glance. You can also
specify whether you want to print page borders
44
around the reduced pages. The preview area at
the right shows the effect of the present settings.
Enlarge for Poster Printing
This feature enables you to print large, multiple-
sheet versions of your page. You can print a poster
that is 2 x 2, 3 x 3, 4 x 4, 5 x 5, or 6 x 6 sheets in
size. The preview area at the right shows the effect
of your choice.
When assembling your poster print job, you will
notice a small unprintable area around the edges
of each sheet of paper. These areas overlap during
assembly.
Note: During N-up, Watermark and
Poster printing, the SuperScript 870
Windows printer driver stores an
intermediate representation of the whole
print job on your hard disk. The amount of
disk space required depends on the size of
the print job and the amount of graphic
data it includes. For pages containing
graphics, you may need several
megabytes of hard disk space for each
page of the print job.
