tulostusmuodosta

Tulostusmuodosta is the elative case form of the Finnish noun tulostusmuoto, meaning “printing format” or “print form.” In Finnish grammar the elative case (suffix -sta/-stä) marks origin or a contextual relation, so tulostusmuodosta is used to express “from the printing format” or “depending on the printing format” in written text.

In practical use, tulostusmuoto refers to the form in which content is intended to be printed. This can include layout choices, page size and orientation, typography, and other format-specific constraints that affect how a document is rendered on paper or another medium. The term often appears in technical or documentation contexts, such as printing guides, template instructions, or software that adapts output to different formats.

Typical usage examples are phrases like tulostusmuodosta riippuen, meaning that certain settings or behaviors vary according to the chosen printing format. The phrase helps specify that differences in output arise from the format rather than the content itself. Because tulostusmuoto is a compound noun, its inflected forms (tulostusmuoto, tulostusmuodon, tulostusmuotoa, etc.) are used in related sentences to reflect case and number.

See also: tulostusmuoto, tulostusasetukset, printing format, document formatting. Etymologically, the term combines tulostus “printing” and muoto “form,” and tulostusmuodosta is simply the case-marked variant used in context.
