View Tab Modes
Icons allow you to select from various modes of operation for the preview screen.
Basic View (default mode)
• The Basic View shows a preview window of the job currently selected.
• The cursor becomes a magnifying glass (Zoom Tool) if you pass it over the preview window. Left-

any mode to zoom in and out.)
• Selecting the Settings button takes you back to the printer driver interface to allow you to
change most of the settings for the job selected. Keep in mind that some settings cannot be

representing the center and extents of the graphic. Using these anchors, you can relocate the image in
one of three ways:
1. You can select and hold an anchor point and drag that anchor to move the image around in the
field.
2. You can select an anchor point and type a new X-Y coordinate for that anchor point in the X-Y
