Tell me about the Job Properties General tab (HP Designjet 10ps or 20ps)

The General tab of the Job Properties dialog box lets you define:

 

Preview Mode

You can display the image in Image Preview mode or view it in Layout Preview mode, which displays the image as it will print on the media. Simply select the preview mode you want from the list.

Media Source

Select a source for printing.

Media Size

  • Scale
  • You may change the size of the output here. In most cases, a job size should be controlled from within the application in which it was created to prevent unexpected results.

  • Fit to Media
  • Increases or decreases the job proportionally to fit the maximum width of the output device.

  • Width/Height
  • Accepts direct entry of the job width or height. When one aspect is altered, the other is automatically updated to keep the job proportionally correct.

top

Copies

  • Number
  • You may change the number of copies of the job to be output.

    When you select more than one copy, the software will put each copy on a separate page, even though more than one copy may fit on a page. In this case, the spacing field (see next) has no effect.

    When you select more than one copy and are using the duplexer, the software reorders the pages, managing the pages in a different way than the duplexer expects to receive them. For example, if a job has three pages and you want two copies, the software sends pages to the printer in the order: 1 1 2 2 3 3 instead of 1 2 3 1 2 3. The work-around is to send the pages to be printed as many times as needed.

  • Spacing
  • You may change the spacing between the copies that are output.
