Job previews
When you position the cursor over the pan or Zoom tool, a 3-D border surrounds it to
provide the appearance of a raised button. Click once to select the tool. The 3-D
border inverts, as if the button has been pressed, indicating the tool is selected.
When you select the Pan tool or Zoom tool, the appearance of the cursor changes to
indicate that you can now use that tool to manipulate the preview. When you choose
the preview or the Layout mode, a blue border appears around the selected view and
the appearance of the job in the main window changes immediately.
The Sheet menu, View menu, and scroll bar (shown above) appear at the bottom of
the window. These menus and controls affect the display in the main window
immediately.
Switching between page view and layout view
You can use the view mode buttons to switch between a page view and a layout view of
the job.
•
Preview mode
approximates the appearance of the final printed output very closely;
for this reason, it is sometimes called a WYSIWYG (“what you see is what you get”)
preview.
•
Layout mode
displays numbered, generic pages that allow you to determine the
location of source document pages in the imposed job; and you can rotate individual
pages or signatures in a layout view.
Different viewing modes may display different sets of printer’s marks; for more
information, see the table below.

:
The graphically-rich Preview mode puts more stress on your system’s processor
than the relatively lightweight layout view mode. You can improve performance on
slower systems by doing most of your work in Layout mode, switching to Preview
mode only when you actually need to see content.
In Layout mode, you can rotate individual pages on the sheet; for more information,
see “Rotating pages” on page 5-12.
