Print using (Macintosh)

The Print using pop-up menu lets you choose between printing an image or saving the image to disk.

AppleTalk Prints the image to the printer currently selected in the Chooser; the currently selected printer name is displayed in the Printer model field. If the selected printer is not a PostScript printer, this option is unavailable (grayed-out).

PostScript file Saves an image to disk as a PostScript file. Click Save; a dialog box lets you choose a new or existing file for saving the PostScript code.

When selected, the File format pop-up menu becomes available. This pop-up menu has two options: ASCII base-85and Binary.

ASCII base-85Image data is encoded using an ASCII base-85 filter during file output, making the resulting PostScript file portable, and downloadable through interface ports that don’t support binary data.

Binary Image data is output in binary format.
