To Print With a PostScript Printer

Sahafi adds to the standard PostScript options with features such as printing the pages in reverse order, printing thumbnails, draft-quality output, printing odd or even pages, and page collation.

  1. Choose Print from the File menu. The LaserWriter print dialog box appears. If you are using LaserWriter driver version 8, the al-Nashir al-Sahafi option will appear in their own panel accessible from the pop-up menu at the top left of the print dialog box. If MPD files are installed, the Postscript Options button, Crop Marks box and Printer Specs button appear there, along with the type of printer.

  2. Select the Sahafi printing options that you want to use. Select Draft to print a draft quickly with picture blocks instead of the pictures. Select Thumbnails and enter the number of thumbnails per page to print thumbnails of your document. Select Reverse Order to print in reverse order, last page to first page. Select Collate to print separate sets of the entire document when you specify more than one copy. Otherwise, all the copies of each page are printed at once. If the document has many graphics and PostScript fonts to be sent to the printer, selecting collation slows the printing time. Select Odd Only and Even Only, in turn, to print double-sided pages. Print first with Select Odd Only, then print again on the reverse side with Select Even Only.

  3. Click OK to start printing.
