4 To specify width and height, do one of the following:
• To let InDesign determine the smallest paper size needed for your document’s contents, bleed and/or slug areas,
and any printer’s marks, select Auto for Width and Height. Auto, the default option, is also useful if you have
different sized pages in a book and you’re printing on continuous media, such as a roll of film or photosensitive
paper.
• To specify a paper size larger than the default, enter new dimensions in the Width and Height text boxes. Be sure
to increase the values; decreasing the default values may clip your document.
5 To change the placement of the page on the film, enter a value for Offset.
The Offset value specifies the amount of space along the left side of the imageable area. For example, entering a value
of 30 points in the Offset option shifts your page 30 points to the right.
6 To rotate both media and page contents, select Transverse and click OK.
You can conserve a considerable amount of film or paper by using Transverse in conjunction with Offset. Compare
the following examples of an image printed by InDesign with Transverse selected and deselected.
A Offset value B Gap C Film saved
7 To specify the distance between individual pages when printing on continuous media, enter a value for Gap.
