Using Auto-Rotation

The Auto-rotation function forces all original PDF pages to have the same orientation before being placed on the sheet and printed. By default, the Auto-rotation option is turned on and some page rotation options are disabled.
    Note:

  • The orientation of each original PDF page is determined by analyzing the width-to-height ratio. If the job is Portrait, any pages with Landscape orientation are rotated 90 degrees. If the job is Landscape, any pages with Portrait orientation are rotated 90 degrees before being placed on the sheet.

  • Auto-rotation settings are applied regardless of how orientation was set for the original PDF page. For example, Auto-rotation applies when the original orientation was set by importing files with a different orientation than the job, building jobs from files with different orientations, manually rotating pages 90 degrees, or cropping pages to a different width-to-height ratio than the job orientation.

  • When the Auto-rotation option is turned on, the Rotate page 90° clockwise and Rotate page 90° counterclockwise options are disabled.

  • When the Auto-rotation option is turned off, the Rotate page 90° clockwise and Rotate page 90° counterclockwise options are enabled.

  • If Auto-rotation flips a page upside down, use Rotate page 180° to correct the orientation of the page.

To turn off Auto-rotation:
  1. Open the Impose panel.
  2. Under Auto-rotation, click Off.
    Important:

  • Auto-rotation settings can only be changed in Normal imposition.

  • You can save a job with the Auto-rotation option turned off.
