2.2 Windows Driver Settings
Print to File
If you check the [Print to file] check box, a TIFF file is generated without printing the
document. You can check the [Print to file] check box if you have previously set the
[Print to file setting] on the [Default Settings] tab.
• The quality of the image displayed in the [Output preview] window differs from
the actual printing result.
• The [Output Orientation], [Rotate Image 180 degrees], or [Header/Footer]
settings are not reflected on the display.
• The paper sizes that can be displayed in the [Output preview] window are regular
sizes and long print paper of length 1,230 mm or less. If the paper size is other
than these sizes, a message "Cannot display the preview. Specified [Output size]
is larger than the maximum size to be previewed." appears and the image size is
displayed in the bottom right of the window.
• (Windows 2000 or Windows XP), if the [Output preview] window overlaps with
the application window used to perform printing, moving the [Output preview]
window will cause the application window to remain as a white blank. If this
happens, exit the [Output preview] window to properly display the application
window.
• If [File] is specified for the output port or the [Print to file] in the [Print] dialog
box is checked, an unnecessary file with the file name specified in the [Print to
file] dialog box will be generated even if the printing is canceled in the [Output
preview] window.
• Windows 98/Me has the following limitations.
• [Preview] cannot be specified together with [Print to file].
• [Print to file] in the [Print] dialog box is ignored even if it is selected.
• If [File] is specified for the output port, the [Print to File] dialog box appears
twice. In this case the file name specified in the second dialog box will be
valid.
• Do not check the [Print to file] check box in the [Print] dialog box or specify
[File] for the output port if you have checked [Print to file]. Otherwise, the [Print
to File] dialog box will appear and an unnecessary file will be generated with the
file name specified in the dialog, even though [Print to file] is normally
performed.
• Under Windows 98/Me, [Print to file] cannot be specified together with
[Preview].
Refer to "Print to file setting" (page 64).
