Description

[Automatic]

The data orientation is automatically modified according to the drawing surface. Use the automatic value when you want to:

  • Use the automatic rotation behavior setting you have enabled for the printer under the [Preferences]: [Media saving] or [Productive].

  • Save media.

  • Optimize the position of the image according to the values of other settings, especially for folding and the legend position.

[Print image short edge first]

The image is rotated in such a way that the short edge of the image is printed on the leading edge of the media.

When this value is selected all landscape pages are rotated.

Use this value to rotate all landscape pages 270° counter-clockwise (exception: if an [ERICSSON] fold is requested, the data is rotated 90° counter-clockwise).

NOTE

This value corresponds to the automatic behavior: [Productive].

[Print image long edge first]

The image is rotated in such a way that the long edge of the image is printed on the leading edge of the media.

When this value is selected, and a media of a compliant size is available, the portrait pages are rotated.

NOTE

This value corresponds to the automatic behavior: [Media saving].

0, 90, 180, 270

Select one of the values to rotate the image counter-clockwise.

When the option [Add a 180 degrees extra rotation] is used in the template, it can have an impact on the rotation behavior.

Quick rotation tool

Once you have made your settings you can check the layout in the preview. When you move your mouse over the preview you will also see the icon of the quick rotation tool appear. Click on it to rotate the document. You can also use the keyboard shortcut [CTRL+SHIFT++]. You will see the values change in the [Rotation] tile.
