Layout Properties

To set the layout properties of a PrintFactory Queue

Proceed as follows:
  1. Double-click the PrintFactory Queue of your choice.
  2. Make sure that the correct Queue type is selected.
  3. Click the Layout tab.
  4. Set the layout properties of the PrintFactory Queue:
    • Media selection
    • Resize
    • Position
    • Marks
    • Mirror
    • Automatic job rotation
    • Template
    • Job ticket

Media selection

    1.    If necessary, select the size of the media loaded in the printer, or select a custom media size. If you do not replace the default setting <Specified by Job>, users must specify a paper size for every individual job processed by this queue.
    2.    Select the feed method from the Paper source list. The default setting — Tray, Roll, or Manual — is determined by printer make and model. If there is potentially more than one paper source of the selected type, the actual source is determined by the combination of paper size and availability.

Resize

You can select one of the Resize options.

Trim white area around job

The white areas around a job can be trimmed automatically, from queue. The option can be enabled by going to Queue > Layout > Resize and checking the “Trim” option.
