1 Choose File
> Print.
2 In the Setup area of the Print dialog box, choose an option in the Paper Size menu.
Make sure that your paper size is large enough to contain your document, the bleed and slug areas (if included), and
any printer’s marks. To conserve imagesetter film or paper, however, select the smallest paper size that will
accommodate your document and the necessary printing information.
3 Click an Orientation button to rotate the document on the media.
In most cases, the page orientation specified in Document Setup (File
> Document Setup) and the output orientation
specified in the Setup area of the Print dialog box should be the same (both portrait or both landscape), whether you
print normal or transverse. If you’re printing spreads, you may want to choose a different paper size and orientation
(such as landscape) to fit all pages of a spread on a single sheet. If you’ve rotated the spread view, you may want to
change the orientation to print the spread properly.
