Images sent to the Film Previewer appear in sequential order (left to right, from top to bottom). If there is more than one page, each page has the same layout.

NOTE: For a custom layout, click Custom and create a layout in the Print Layout window grid.

5.  You can move images from one location to another within the Film Previewer.

When you send additional images to be printed, images are always added to the last page, even if there are spaces in previous pages.
