Print with presets

The Page setup and print window contains:

  • Document preview area
  • Print settings area

file_print_settings_window

If the sheet, selected fragment or specified area does not contain print data or all print data is in hidden columns and rows, the Page setup and print window does not open. A dialog box is displayed with the message: “No data to print. Please make sure you have at least one page with data to print.”

The document preview area contains the following buttons:

  • print_dialog_zoom_out and print_dialog_zoom_in: Zoom in or out the page in the preview area.
  • Fit to window: Fit the page into the preview area.
  • print_dialog_next_page and print_dialog_previous_page: Go to the next/previous page of the document.

The zoom set in the preview area does not affect the print borders. The zoom tools are intended only for detailed viewing of the document content.

For convenient view, you can expand the Page setup and print dialog box to the desired size by changing its borders.

In the print settings area, you can set the options listed in the table below.
