Print dialog box options
Each category of options in the Print dialog box—from General options to Summary options—is organized to guide
you through the process of printing your document. To display a set of options, select the set name on the left side of
the dialog box. Many of these options are preset by the startup profile you chose when you started your document.

choose which layers to print.
Marks & Bleed
Select printer’s marks and create a bleed.
Output

Graphics
Set printing options for paths, fonts, PostScript files, gradients, meshes, and blends.

Reposition artwork on the page
The preview image in the Print dialog box shows you where artwork will be printed on the page.
1
Choose File > Print.

Do one of the following:
• Drag the artwork in the preview image at the lower left corner of the dialog box.
• Click a square or arrow on the Placement icon to specify the origin point for aligning the artwork in relation to
the page. Enter values for Origin X and Origin Y to fine-tune the position of the artwork.
Tip: To move the printable area directly on the artboard, drag in the illustration window with the Print Tiling
tool. As you drag, the Print Tiling tool responds as if you were moving the printable area from its lower left corner.
You can move the printable area anywhere on the artboard; however, any part of a page that extends past the
printable area boundary is not printed.
