You can define the number of tiles or specify a tile size. You can also print
tile-specific information with each tile.
Most tilings are job-specific. For this reason, you will usually create your tilings in Job Editor. However, you can also configure a tiling workflow in Server Manager and apply it to all imported jobs.

Do one of the following:
- In Server Manager: On the sidebar, click Printers, and select a printer. In the
printer's tree view, select a workflow. On the Layout tab, expand the
Tiling panel. In the panel header bar, select the check box to activate the
settings.
- In Job Editor: On
the Layout tab, expand the Tiling panel. In the panel header bar, select the check box to activate the settings.
- Select a tiling type.
The standard tile size is equal to the media size
that is selected for the printer. Alternatively, you can set up a custom tile size by typing in tile
dimensions, or by defining the number of vertical and horizontal tiles to place on the page.
Note: You can resize individual tiles later.
- Select Rotate
tiles with an even number by 180 degrees (optional).
Inconsistencies in color density can occur when
using grande-format printers with UV ink. Rotating alternate tiles by 180 degrees can help lessen
the effect of color deviances in large areas of single color (for example, blue sky), by creating an
invisible seam when you join the tiles together.
- Set up a tile label (optional).
You can print tiles with an extra margin that
contains tile-specific information, such as the tile number, or custom text. Tile numbers help you
to join the tiles together in the right order. The tile label is not visible in the preview.

Click Save.
