How can I use the color proong preview to see the real colors that will be printed?
Press the button.
How can I remove white areas from the edges of the page?
You can do this easily and automatically by selecting Remove white areas, which is one of the cropping options in the print
settings. See Print settings on page 34.
Preview tools
The preview is interactive: it permits image manipulation using the tools provided in the preview pane:
●
The Rotate buttons allow you to rotate the image.
●
The Move tool allows you to select the image (click the image) or the page (click the edge of the page), and
move it to a new position on the paper.
You can also use the Move tool to resize an image, by dragging a corner of the image. To maintain the
image proportions (the aspect ratio), hold down the Shift key while resizing.
NOTE: The Move tool is disabled if the job has not been assigned to a printer.
Crystal Preview
If HP SmartStream nds problems in a PDF le, in some cases it can continue and print the le, but the thumbnail
and preview may not correctly represent the nal print. In these cases, you can display an accurate soft-proong
preview by pressing the button near the bottom left of the preview pane. The following scenarios
require the Crystal Preview, which uses the Adobe Libraries:
●
Fonts are used but not found in the PDF le nor in the system.
●
Some PDF layers are enabled or disabled dierently, depending on whether they are viewed or printed.
●
There are references to external documents or images.
●
Embedded PostScript (EPS) is contained in the PDF le.
The Crystal Preview provides an accurate preview whatever the characteristics of the le, showing you exactly
what will be printed, so that you can evaluate the printed colors, and judge for yourself the eect of any
problems in the le. However, the Crystal Preview may take longer to generate than the default preview. It
performs full color management (see Color management on page 50), and can understand and handle the
following PDF features correctly:
●
Output intent
●
Transparency
●
Overprinting
●
Rendering spot colors with the HP Professional PANTONE Emulation Library
While the computer is busy generating a Crystal Preview, the toolbar buttons in the Preview pane are disabled.
The example below illustrates the use of soft proong to judge the printed colors.
