Setting output options

Output options let you select items that print in addition to the image. For example, you can choose to print a border around the image, or you can choose to print crop marks. The output options aren't visible by default in the Print Options dialog box; you must select Show More Options (located below the image preview area) in order to see them.

Note: Depending on your printer and print drivers, output options may also appear in the Page Setup dialog box. The advantage of using the Print Preview dialog box to set output options is that you can preview the selected options prior to printing.

To set output options:

1 Choose File > Print Preview, or click the Print Preview button () in the shortcuts bar.

2 Click Show More Options and choose Output from the pop-up menu.

3 Select one or more of the following options. Options not supported by the designated printer are dimmed.

Background Lets you select a background color to be printed on the page outside the image area. For example, a black or colored background may be desirable for slides printed to a film recorder. To use this option, click Background, and then select a color from the Color Picker dialog box. This is a printing option only; it does not affect the image itself.

Border Lets you print a black border around an image. Type in a number and choose a unit value to specify the width of the border.

Caption Prints any caption text entered in the File Info dialog box. (See Adding file information.) Caption text always prints as 9-point Helvetica plain type.

Corner Crop Marks Prints crop marks where the page is to be trimmed.
