SuperScript 1400 printer features give you many ways to

customize your print jobs. To take advantage of these

features you need to become familiar with the SuperScript

1400 Series printer driver.

glance and is accessible through the Layout

printing two ways.

the paper as in a magazine.

binding orientation along the short edge of

the paper as in a calendar.

INTRODUCTION

Watermarks

With the watermark feature found in

a line of text across your ﬁnal output. Typical

examples of watermarks are the words

“Draft” or “Conﬁdential.”

This feature allows you to scale your print job

to any supported paper size regardless of the

digital document size. This can be useful when

you want to check the detail in a smaller
