• View — Contents of the view number as shown in the View setting.
• Fence — The print area is defined by a fence.
• Sheet — The print area is defined by the sheet definition.

By default, Rasterized mode will be turned on when shaded display styles are detected. If Rasterized is unchecked, the shaded display styles will print using the non-rasterized visible edges path. The Rasterized check box will be disabled if the view contains any point clouds, or when printing to a printer driver that does not support Rasterized mode (e.g., HP-GL/2). If you are printing a 3D design model to a PDF printer driver and the Print to 3D check box is set, the Rasterized check box is not visible.

Rasterized print mode is the best way to achieve complete fidelity between the view display and the printed output. It is the only way to achieve certain effects such as anti-aliasing and transparency.  For very dense drawings, rasterized print mode also uses less memory than non-rasterized mode.

When creating a rasterized print, the product breaks up the view into many tiles and makes multiple passes over the DGN file to rasterize each tile using the graphics hardware. Larger print sizes require more tiles, and thus take longer to print and produce larger plot file sizes.

The output of a rasterized print is a print file consisting entirely of raster tiles. When printing a vector DGN file, a rasterized print file is usually larger than a non-rasterized print file. However, if the DGN file contains raster background images spanning the entire view, using the rasterized print mode may produce a smaller print file.

When wireframe views are plotted in non-rasterized print mode, the product builds a display list containing the entire contents of the DGN file in order to perform sorting (in software) based on either 3D Z coordinates, 2D display priority, or pen table priority. For very dense drawings, or drawings containing large amounts of raster data, this display list can sometimes run the process out of virtual address space. In Rasterized print mode, the sorting is performed by the graphics hardware. There is no need for a display list, and the system memory footprint is much smaller—especially when printing at large sizes.

In a non-rasterized print, the application of line caps and joins to vectors is performed by the printer driver. Some printer drivers support more cap and join styles than others, and their appearance may vary depending on the printer firmware. In a rasterized print, the line caps and joins are applied by the graphics hardware and the results are embedded in the raster tiles—ensuring consistent appearance when printing to any printer driver or printer.

Printer driver configuration files provide an option (Default Output Mode) for setting the default Rasterized check box for the Print dialog and Print Organizer. You can force the Rasterized check box on or off (in which case the control becomes disabled), or mark it as preferred on or off (in which case the Rasterized check box is set to the desired value when the printer driver configuration is loaded, but can be changed afterwards). By default, the printer driver configuration is set to "No Preference," and the Rasterized check box defaults to the most recently used setting (from the user preferences) for the Print dialog and to non-rasterized mode for Print Organizer.

• X Size — Sets the X, or width, dimension of the printed output, in printer units.
• Y Size — Sets the Y, or height, dimension of the printed output, in printer units.

• X Origin — Sets the horizontal distance in printer units from the lower-left corner of the printable area to the lower-left corner of the page. The default X Origin and Y Origin settings center the printed output in the printable area of the page.
• Y Origin — Sets the vertical distance in printer units from the lower-left corner of the printable area to the lower-left corner of the page. The default X Origin and Y Origin settings center the printed output in the printable area of the page.

The NONE form is available if the print destination is set to Send to InterPlot and the selected printer is an InterPlot printer that supports the NONE form. When printing to the NONE form, the system automatically sets the form size to the print size. For example, if the form size is 100 x 100 inches, and the print size is 34 x 22 inches, the form size is set to 34 x 22 inches when the Paper size control is set to NONE.

(When Bentley driver is selected) Displays the total area (width x height) for the selected paper.

This control lets you quickly reverse the X and Y values of the Paper Size property without having to edit the printer driver configuration file. This is necessary for the printer.pltcfg, and helpful for some PostScript to PDF workflows, but not desirable for most HP-GL/2 and HP/RTL workflows. To reduce confusion and to prevent any accidental swapping of the X and Y sizes, the orientation control is disabled for the following Bentley printer drivers: pscript.pltcfg, hpgl2.pltcfg, and hpglrtl.pltcfg.

If off, only the printable portion of the sheet is considered.

For example, when printing to a letter size sheet, typically 8.5 x 11 inches, the maximum print size may be only 8 x 10.5 inches. If full sheet is enabled, the maximum print size is the size of the sheet (8.5 x 11 inches).

When Full Sheet is enabled some geometry may be clipped (by the printer) if it falls into the unprintable area around the edge of the paper.
