Summary of settings in preview
Custom page/Cut sheet views
Display the effects of different print settings, depending
on your page size. For custom page sizes, the preview shows how the media fits on the
custom output device; what the maximum supported media dimensions are of the output
device; and what the settings are for offset, gap, and transverse. For cut sheets, such
as Letter and Tabloid, the preview shows the relationship of the imageable area to the
media size.
In both the custom page and cut sheet views, the preview also indicates the output mode
using an icon: Separations
, Composite Grayscale , Composite CMYK , or Composite
RGB .

Printing oversized documents
Although you can create InDesign documents as large as 18-by-18 feet, most desktop
printers cannot print such large pages.
To print an oversized document on your desktop printer, you can print each page of your
document in pieces, called tiles, and then trim and assemble those pieces. If you prefer,
you can scale the document to fit the available paper size.
