HP DesignJet T790 and T1300 Printer Series - Using your printer

Preview a print
Previewing a print on the screen allows you to check the layout of the print before printing, which may help you
to avoid wasting paper and ink on a bad print.
●
To preview a print under Windows, you have the following options:
—
Use your application's print preview option.
—
Check the Show preview before printing option (for the T1300 series only), which you can nd in the
driver's Paper/Quality tab and Features tab. The preview may be provided in dierent ways,
depending on your printer and printer driver.
●
To preview a print under Mac OS, you have the following options:
—
Use your application's print preview option.

Click the Preview button at the bottom of the Print dialog box. This is the basic print preview provided
by Mac OS.

If you are using the PostScript driver for the T1300 PS printer, check the Show print preview option,
which you can nd in the driver's Printing dialog, in the Finishing panel. This preview is provided by the
Embedded Web Server and will appear in a Web browser window.
NOTE: This option does not work if the printer is connected by USB cable to a dierent computer
(printer sharing).
—
If you are using the PCL driver for the T790 or T1300 series, check the Show print preview option,
which you can nd in the driver's Printing dialog, in the Finishing panel. This opens the HP Print
Preview application, with more features, such as the ability to change paper size, paper type and print
quality, and to rotate the image.
