The examples shown above are:
A
) A certificate to be filled out (Letter size, landscape orientation)
B
) Mailing address (#10 envelope, landscape orientation)
C
) A formal invitation (6 ⅜ × 8 ⅞ inch, portrait orientation)
D
) A page of mixed text and drawing (Letter size, portrait orientation)
In every case, line up the corner of the paper with the upper left corner of the
Clip Easel, such that the corner of the paper is closest to the Home Corner.
If your document is wider than it is tall (or square), it is said to be in
landscape
orientation
, and your paper should be oriented as in examples
A
and
B
above. If
is taller than it is wide, it has
portrait orientation
; turn your paper “sideways” as
in examples C) and D) above. (This default behavior can be overridden. See “9.7
Advanced options” on page 37.)
6.3 Using multiple Clip Easels
A common technique is to use more than one clip easel, such that you can quick-
ly swap out your completed workpiece for the next one. The key advantage is that
one page can be plotting while you unclip and clip the next page. You can use
tape marks or hard end stops on your table (like a carpenter’s square) to facilitate
quick alignment.
