The appearance of this dialog box changes depending on the type of document to be printed. For graphic documents only, the Options tab is also displayed.

General Tab

Printer

This section contains the parameters for the printer. You can change the printer by selecting another one from the list. The Properties/Preferences button displays the dialog box in which to set the printer parameters.

Print to file

If this box is checked, printing is sent in a file instead of to the printer. Before you start printing, a dialog box is opened in which you can specify the file name. This option is useful when you need to print the file from a different location.

Pages to print

In this section you must specify what to print.

All

Selecting this option prints the entire document.

Pages

If your document contains more than one page, you can specify the range of pages to be printed or you can select Current page to print only the active page.

Selection

To print only a few objects, select them before printing is activated.

Options Tab

This tab is only displayed for graphic documents.

View

Select the view to print.

Pages range

Specify whether all pages of the print range or only odd or even pages should be printed.

Page scaling

This section specifies the parameters for resizing the document to be printed. Choose the scaling factor from those listed or type it in directly.

Print margins

Indicate the width of the sheet margins. If the Reverse on even pages option is selected, the left and right margin values will be inverted on even pages to facilitate binding.

Split into multiple sheets

If the area to be printed exceeds the area of the sheet, you can check this box to print on multiple sheets. The preview window will display all the sheets and the layout of the print. Click on individual sheets to include or exclude them from printing.

Auto-rotate

If you check this box, printing is automatically rotated to match the size of the sheet.

Center on the page

If this box is checked, printing is always placed in the center of the sheet.
