Print

Specifies the print setting options.

Printer/Print to File

Reduce Transparency

Specifies whether the transparent objects will be printed as normal, non-transparent objects, depending on which transparency options you choose. Transparency cannot be output directly to a printer. The areas of the document in which transparency is to be visible must therefore always be calculated as bitmaps and sent to the printer. Depending on the size of the bitmaps and the print resolution, a large amount of data may result.

Transparency Options

Automatically - Specifies that the transparency is only printed if the transparent area covers less than a quarter of the entire page.

No transparency - With this option transparency is never printed.

Reduce Bitmaps

Specifies that bitmaps are printed with reduced quality. The resolution can only be reduced and not increased.

Reduced Bitmap Quality

High print quality - High print quality corresponds to a resolution of 300dpi.

Normal print quality - Normal print quality corresponds to a resolution of 200dpi.

Resolution - Specifies the maximum print quality in dpi using the drop-down menu below. The resolution can only be reduced and not increased.

Include Transparent objects

Specifies whether the reduction in print quality for bitmaps also applies to the transparent areas of objects.

Reduce Gradients

Specifies whether gradients are printed with reduced quality.

Gradient Options

Gradient stripes - Specifies the maximum number of gradient stripes for printing.

Intermediate color - Specifies that gradients are only printed in a single intermediate color.

Convert Colors to Grayscale

Specifies that all colors are printed only as grayscale.

Printer Warnings

Defines which warnings appear before printing begins.

Paper Size

Specifies whether a certain paper size is needed for printing the current document. If the paper size used in the document is not provided by the current printer, an error message appears.

Paper Orientation

Specifies whether a certain paper orientation is needed for printing the current document. If the format used by the current document is not available from the printer, an error message appears.

Transparency

Specifies whether you always want to be warned if transparent objects are contained in the document. If you print such a document, a dialog appears in which you can select if the transparency is to be printed in this print instruction.
