Print using (Macintosh)

The

Print using

pop-up menu allows you to choose between printing an image or

saving the image to disk.

■

AppleTalk:

This option prints the image to the printer currently selected in

the

Chooser

. When you select this option, The

Printer model

field

displays the name of the printer currently selected in the

Chooser

. If the

selected printer is not a PostScript printer, this option is unavailable
(grayed-out).

■

PostScript file:

This option lets you save an image to disk as a PostScript

Level 2 file. When you click the

Save

button, another dialog box appears

allowing you to choose a new or existing file for saving the PostScript
code. Also, when you select this option, the

File format

pop-up menu

becomes available. This pop-up menu has two options:

ASCII base-85

and

Binary.

ASCII base-85.

This option encodes image data using an ASCII-85

filter during file output, making the resulting PostScript file portable so it
can be downloaded through interface ports that don’t support
binary data. Note that the file may be up to 25% larger.

Binary.

This option outputs image data in binary format.
