Using

Transformation

Options

You can print Encapsulated PostScript (EPS), Tagged Image Format File (TIFF), and Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) files directly by downloading them from your workstation using the Downloader Utility, or from the server using the DiskDirect port.

You can apply a transformation mode to these files automatically or manually at the RIP’s Port Configuration dialog box. If you select automatic mode, the transformation is applied automatically before printing. If you select manual mode, the job is sent to the Attention Queue, where you can set the mode interactively and then send the job to be printed.

The following modes are available:

Best Fit - scales the image to fit as much of the

 

 

 

 

 

 

selected media size as possible. The image is

 

 

 

 

 

 

automatically rotated if necessary for the best

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

fit.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Horizontal Fit - scales the image to fit the width

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

of the selected media size. Any image area

 

 

 

 

 

 

scaled beyond the vertical dimension of the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

media size is clipped.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Vertical Fit - scales the image to fit the height of

 

 

 

 

 

 

the selected media size. Any image area scaled

 

 

 

 

 

 

beyond the horizontal dimension of the media

 

 

 

 

 

 

size is clipped.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Stretch Fit - scales the image in the horizontal

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and vertical dimensions to fit the entire area of

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

the selected media size, without regard to

 

 

 

 

 

 

aspect ratio.

 

 

 

 

 

 

No Change - prints the image at its original size

 

 

 

 

 

 

and orientation, without regard to the default

 

 

 

 

 

 

media size selected.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Manual - allows you to interactively crop, tile,

 

 

 

 

 

 

scale, flip, and rotate the file before it reaches

 

 

 

 

 

 

the RIP.
