The tiling feature of the software allows you to split a print job into a number of smaller tiles that are then output separately.
When you rotate or resize a job, all tiling is removed. If the job is larger than the output media after it rotates, it will automatically be retiled.
If a job is larger than the output media, it automatically tiles into pieces small enough to output.

Use the Tile tab of the Job Properties dialog to do all tiling. To access the tiling features:
Panel size |
The panel splits the job into tiles and is output by the software. If the panel reduces in size so that it does not cover the entire job, only the parts covered by the panel are output. |
