dimensions do not necessarily match the paper sizes used by printers.
As a result, when you print, InDesign divides the oversized document into
one or more rectangles, or tiles, that correspond to the page size
available on the printer. You can then assemble the overlapping
sections.</p>
<p>You can have InDesign tile a document automatically, or you can
specify the tiles yourself. Tiling manually lets you control the
origin point for the upper-left corner of the tile, so that you
determine where the page falls on the paper.</p>

<dd>Increases the amount of overlap (if necessary) so that

</li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>For Overlap, type the minimum amount of duplicated information
you want printed on each tile for ease in assembly. The Overlap
option uses the unit of measure specified for the document. The
value should be greater than the minimum nonprinting margins for
the printer. You can specify up to half the size of the shortest
side of the document page to overlap. For example, tiles for a page
that measures 11-by-17 inches (279.4mm‑by‑431.8mm) can overlap up
to 5.5 inches (139.7mm).</span></li>
