The paper size, e.g. Letter, A4, etc.
Page sizes of photo papers are sometimes identified by their measurement in inches (e.g. 4x6“ = 10x15 cm) – the actual size is shown above the selection.
Additional paper sizes can be added with the „Custom Page Size Editor“ (see chapter " 9. Custom page size editor").
borderless
This option is only available if borderless printing is possible with the selected page size.
Note: Borderless printing is not supported by all printers
overlap
When printing borderless the document is slightly enlarged in order to let it overlap the page borders a little bit. This ensures that even with minor mechanical deviations of the printer no white margins will be visible at any border.
The level of enlargement can be selected by the „overlap“ slider. Position „min“ means no enlargement at all.
Hint: If even in the „max“ position there is still a white margin visible at one border, you can define a new borderless page size in the „Custom Page Size Editor“ where you can edit printing position and enlargement individually.
The input feed (e.g. manual or automatic).
The output tray (only for printers that support different output trays).
Activate "Duplex" mode if you want the printer to use both paper sides. You can choose between „portrait“ and „landscape“ format – depending on which side the pages should be turned over later.
For printers that do not support automatic duplexing a manual duplex mode is offered by TurboPrint. See „Duplex Mode“ setting.
If you need several copies, enter the desired number of printouts ("1" means no copies).
The printout will be mirrored (left and right swapped). This setting is activated automatically for "backprint" and "t-shirt transfer" media.
With this function you can print several scaled down pages on one sheet of paper.
1 - one page per sheet (default)
2 - print two pages on one sheet; the printout is rotated by 90 degrees
4 - print four pages on one sheet
Note: The „Pages On Sheet“ function is an option of the CUPS printing system which is not compatible to all application programs. With incompatible applications you might get a normal printout or even no printout at all.
Some programs offer a similar option in their print dialogs (e.g. in the LibreOffice print dialog) - then you should use that option instead.
Select the appropriate duplex mode. You can choose between „automatic duplex“ (if supported by the printer) and „manual duplex“ (all printers).
In manual duplex mode all odd pages are printed first (pages 1,3,5,...). Then a dialog is shown that asks you to turn the pile of printed pages and to feed it again into the printer. The paper should be inserted in a manner that the back of page 1 will be printed on next.
After pressing „continue“ all even pages are printed (pages 2, 4, 6,...)
These options are available as Duplex Mode:
Auto – automatic duplex printing (only printers with a duplex unit)
Manual – manual duplex printing – printed pages must be turned over by the user
Manual reverse – manual duplex printing for printers with cassette feeders (default for HP printers)
If „Manual reverse“ is selected, the odd pages are printed in reverse order. This is necessary for printers which print on the lower side of the fed paper (e.g. most laser printers and HP-inkjets).
If front and back sides of your printed documents are in an incorrect order, change from „manual“ to „manual reverse“ (or vice versa).
