ABSTRACT:
The invention is an improved method of automatically laying out a print job to be printed on a printer having a multiplicity of available media sizes. The method utilizes the ability of the printer to print full-bleed on at least some of the four edges of the paper media, and includes automatically performing the calculations to determine the appropriate shift in the location of the print area on the paper media, as well as determining whether the print area must be rotated to obtain the best fit to the media, thereby minimizing the amount of post-printing trimming required. The invention is useful in simplex and duplex printing.
