Abstract
A printing system for printing on output sheets has a proof mode for proofing images requiring printing on tab stock. The images previously unable to be proofed are proofed on either two sheets of standard output stock or a single sheet of standard output stock. To proof an image on two sheets of standard output stock, a first part of the image is printed on one sheet and a second part of the image is printed on another sheet. When the two sheets are aligned accordingly, the image is shown in totality. To proof an image on a single sheet, the image is scaled. The images for printing on standard output stock are stored temporarily in the system memory for printing. Bitmaps are created and stored temporarily for applying tab-edge artwork to show the tab area and location of the tab area.
