Copying a Mask to Multiple Pages

To copy a mask to multiple pages:
  1. Click the mask to select it.
  2. Right-click and select Copy from the menu.
  3. Right-click again and select Paste to.
  4. Specify the destination pages by selecting one of the options available in the Paste to menu:
    • The All pages option pastes the mask to all pages.
    • The Selected pages option pastes the mask to the pages you select from the page list.
      Note: By default, the Selected pages option is grayed out. You must select pages from the page list before this option is available. See step 5.
    • The Even pages option pastes the mask to all even pages.
    • The Odd pages option pastes the mask to all odd pages.
      Note: The Even pages and Odd pages options are not dependent on page numbers, but on the actual number of pages in a job.
  5. To use the Selected pages option:
    1. Select the destination pages from the page list.

      • To select multiple pages, hold the Ctrl key and click each page that you want to select.

      • To select a range of pages, click the first page in the range, then hold the Shift key and click the last page in the range.

    2. Right-click and select Paste to ⇒ Selected pages.
Note: Sometimes when a mask is copied to pages with smaller dimensions, the X,Y coordinates of the mask are outside the printable area of the destination pages. A message box appears with the options to paste and automatically center the unprintable objects or ignore them and only paste printable objects.

  • Click OK to paste and automatically center the unprintable objects on the destination page. If multiple destination pages are selected, unprintable objects are pasted and automatically centered on those pages with smaller printable areas.

  • Click Cancel to ignore unprintable objects. Any printable objects that have been copied are pasted to the destination page. If multiple destination pages are selected, printable objects are pasted to those pages.
