POSTER PRINTING
This option allows you to print posters by dividing a single 
document page into multiple pieces (sometimes called “tiles”). 
Each piece prints, enlarged, on a separate sheet. Then, you 
combine the separate sheets to create a poster.

drivers.

when making up your final poster.

printed document. This can used to indicate that the document is 
“Draft”, or perhaps “Confidential”.
This feature is not available on Mac OS X. The illustration below 
shows the Windows PostScript driver. The PCL driver is very 
similar.
