JPEG filter

The JPEG filter converts most standard JPEG files to PostScript or PDF files and provides options for custom and automatic scaling, resolution, orientation, and positioning the image on the page.

The JPEG filter is a feature of Fiery Graphic Arts Package, Premium Edition, and Fiery Productivity Package. To apply this filter, the Hot Folder must be connected to a Fiery server that has one of these enabled.

You input .jpeg, .jpg files for the JPEG filter. You can submit multiple JPEG files in a folder, which are then merged together and output as a single PDF file. To activate this feature, select the option to Merge all files if submitted as a folder under Output file type.

Option	Description
Original size	Preserves the size of the original image.
Custom size	Scales the image to the values you enter for width and height.
Constrain Proportions	Maintains the original aspect ratio, so that images are not stretched or distorted. When selected, you enter only one value (either height or width) and the other value is automatically defined to preserve the proportions of the original image.
Resolution	Scales image to print at the resolution you specify. The maximum resolution depends on your print device.
Auto-scale: Fit to page	Resizes the image to automatically fit the page size you specify in Input Formats. The image is scaled in relation to the page size you select for the Size setting under Page. If you selected a different page size in Job Properties (Media tab), the image is still scaled in relation to the Size specified in Input Formats, but the job is printed on the paper size specified in Job Properties.
Auto-scale: Shrink to fit	Shrinks the image (by scaling down) to automatically fit the selected page size. Shrink to fit only scales down. If the image is already smaller than the page size, no scaling occurs. The image is scaled in relation to the page size you select for the Size setting under Page. If you selected a different page size in Job Properties (Media tab), the image is still scaled in relation to the Size specified in Input Formats, but the job is printed on the paper size specified in Job Properties.
Scale to printable area only	Ensures that no cropping occurs when using Auto-scale: Fit to page and Auto-scale: Shrink to fit. The printable area is determined by your print device.
Size	Specifies the page size for Auto-scale: Fit to page and Auto-scale: Shrink to fit.
Orientation	Specifies Portrait or Landscape orientation. Select Auto-rotate image to allow automatic rotation that best fits the image to the selected orientation.
Image Position	Positions the image on the page in relation to Top-Left, Top-Right, Bottom-Left, Bottom-Right, or Center, which is the default.
Output file type	See Output file type.
