Document preview image

The document preview image is a line-drawn image of a page that represents graphics and text. The document preview image is always oriented so that the contents of the page are right-side-up.

Move the cursor over the document preview image to change the cursor from an arrow to a gloved hand. Toggle between portrait and landscape page orientation by clicking the image.

Watermarks

Use the Watermarks options to select a watermark, create a custom watermark (text only), or edit an existing watermark. The following watermarks are preset in the printer driver:

(none)

Confidential

Draft

SAMPLE

The drop-down menu shows alphabetically sorted watermarks that are currently available on the system plus the string "(none)", which indicates that no watermark is selected. This is the default setting. Any watermark that is selected from this list appears in the preview image.

When the First page only check box is selected, the watermark is printed only on the first page of the document. The First page only check box is disabled when the current watermark selection is "(none)".

Watermarks are applied to logical pages. For example, when Pages per sheet is set to "4" and First page only is turned off, four watermarks appear on the physical page (one on each logical page).

Click Edit in the Watermarks group box, and the Watermark Details dialog box appears.

The Watermark Details dialog box shows a preview image and provides options for creating a new watermark and controlling the message angle and font attributes.

Click OK to accept all of the changes that are made in the Watermark Details dialog box. However, clicking Cancel does not cancel all of the changes. If you make changes to a watermark and then select a different watermark or click New, all of the changes are saved, and only the current, unsaved changes can be canceled.
