Select Setup on the left side of the Print dialog box. Click a square or arrow on the Placement icon to specify the
origin point for aligning the artwork in relation to the page. Enter values for Origin X and Origin Y to fine-tune
the position of the artwork.
To move the printable area directly on the artboard, drag in the illustration window with the Page tool. As you drag,
the Page tool responds as if you were moving the printable area from its lower left corner. You can move the printable
area anywhere on the artboard; however, any part of a page that extends past the printable area boundary is not printed.
To print artwork on multiple pages
If you are printing artwork that cannot fit on a single page, you can
tile
the artwork onto multiple pages.

artwork.

copies, and in which order to print the pages.
To print a range of pages, select Range. Then use numbers separated by a hyphen to indicate an adjacent range, or
use a comma to separate nonadjacent pages or ranges.
