Orientation indicates how the document is laid out on the page. The Page Setup and Print dialogs are slightly different when printing to a LaserWriter-compatible printer. Copies indicates the number of copies of a document to print. While the Print dialog is virtually identical, the Page Setup dialogs for LaserWriter compatible printers is somewhat different than for LaserJet compatibles. Scale lets you shrink or expand the entire document.
Orientation makes the direction of the document either vertical or horizontal.
The Bitmap conversion option converts everything to a large bitmap on your machine using the native graphics routines in the BeOS rather than converting to PostScript and converting on the printer. This is useful with BeOS capabilities, such as drawing transparency or Japanese fonts, that are not in the printer. The bitmap approach ensures that what you see is what you get, but files print more slowly since the entire bitmap must be downloaded to the printer. Inc. All rights reserved.
