Tiling Pages


If your document is larger than the paper in the printer, you can print portions of the document on different pages. You can then assemble the pages together. This is called tiling. Auto tiling automatically divides the page into smaller segments.

To set automatic tiling:

1.

Check Tile in the Setup category of the Print dialog box.

2.

Choose Auto from the Tiling menu .

The Tile menu in the Setup category of the Print dialog box.

3.

Set the amount in the Overlap field. This controls how much of one page is repeated on the tile for a second section of the page.

Tip

The Preview area in the lower left portion of the Print dialog box shows how the page will be tiled .

The Preview area set to Auto tile.

Auto justified tiling divides the pages so that the right edge of the document lies on the right side of a printed page and the bottom edge of the document lies on the bottom edge of a printed page .

The Preview area set to Auto Justified tile.

Tip

The Auto setting ensures that there is no white space on the right side and bottom of the tiled pages.


To set auto justified tiling:

1.

Check Tile in the Setup category of the Print dialog box.

2.

Choose Auto Justified from the Tiling menu.

You can also tile pages manually. This lets you make sure that the edge of the paper does not cut across an important portion of the document.

To set manual tiling:

1.

Use the zero-point crosshairs on the ruler to set the upper-left corner of the area you want to print . (See Chapter 2, "Document Setup," for more information on setting the zero point of the ruler.)

Move the zero-point crosshairs to set the area to print as a tile on one page.

2.

Choose File > Print.

3.

Click the Setup category of the Print dialog box.

4.

Choose Manual from the Tiling menu.

Tip

Click Print to print that one page.

6.

Reposition the zero-point crosshairs to set a new area to be printed.

7.

Follow steps 2 through 5 to define and print the second tile.

Repeat the process until the entire page has been printed.
