Page Setup - Preview

The Preview area is located on the left side of the Page Setup window:

What is shown?

This is where you see your image placed on the media. The printable area is shown in white and the margins are displayed in green.

Under standard conditions, the Preview will also show all printed copies when using Step&Repeat. You will find further explanations in the dedicated section.

What can be modified?

You can modify your image size in Preview by dragging the image's corners. You can also move the image on the media by dragging it from one side of the printable area to the other.

The Preview is dynamic and will automatically display any new elements added, such as crop marks, annotations, etc.

Meaning of each icon

There are seven icons located on the left, that allow you to apply specific parameters to your image:

		Horizontal Symmetry: Mirrors the image horizontally.   Good to know Since CalderaRIP V17.2, this icon also allows you to review the option selected in the Print & Cut Mirror function (under the Cutting tab): When activated in sublimation or legacy mode, the icon goes orange. When activated in backlit mode, the icon goes red-orange. When the function is not activated, the icon is gray.
		Align left/right: Sets the page alignment of the images.  Limitation Only standard images can be aligned right and mirrored. Compose files with vectors will not be mirrored if aligned right.
		Out: Places the image out of the printable area, in this sense, the image parts placed out of the printable area will not be printed.
		Original Size: Resizes the image to the original size (scale 1:1).
		Full Page: Resizes the image to the full page size of the media.
		Original Proportions: When activated, it keeps the image in its original proportions.
