Paper
Size - this controls the selection of paper the program will
use to format the document as it prints it. This must match what's
actually in your printer or what you print will not come out as you
desire. Drop down the list to examine the available sizes.
Paper
Source - this controls from which tray (for printers with
multiple trays) that the program will select paper. Very handy if you
want to do "test" printouts using plain paper in a lower
tray, and "final" printouts in high quality paper in a top tray.
Orientation
Settings - select either Portrait (the "standard"
way you print most things such as a letter, Landscape (like a
spreadsheet), or Best Fit. With Best Fit, the program examines the
proportions of the image and automatically determines which would
best work with your document, trying to maximize the appearance of
the image in respect to the aspect ratio of the page.
Header
and Footer... - click this button to define header and footer
text to use on the pages. On the following property sheet that
appears you can define the text and position of the headers and
footers, all of which are fairly self-explanatory.
Margins
- define the margins that you wish to use. Note that you cannot
define a margin beyond those supported by your printer. Consult your
printer's documentation for the exact numbers here.
Center
Image - check this to have the program place your image
directly in the center of the page. If you're not going to trim off
the white space around the image, this is probably a good idea to
check (it will make the image appear more nicely formatted on the
page, in genera).
Colors
- here you can control certain functions such as Inverting Black and
White (just like what it sounds), Black and White Only (converting
the image from color or grayscale to black and white, which allows
you to print color images to printer drivers that do not support
them, such as dot-matrix printers), and Draw Frame, which puts a
border around the image. That's handy if the image contains white
area that might cause it to blend in with the page's background.
Scaling
- choose from either Auto-fit to
Fill the Page, maximizing the image on the paper, or Scaling,
where you can select values from 100% to 1%. If you check Auto-fit
and the image is too large, the program will scale down your image
until it best fits on the selected page size. This choice makes the
size of the image relative to the size of the paper selected, too.
Printer selector
- using this button, select the printer you wish to use. This choice
will change how the printed image is handled. For example if the
default printer is a grayscale laser and you select a printer with
color capabilities, then you might wish to make sure you have not
converted the image to black and white.
You can click OK or Cancel, either setting your changes as the defaults, or discarding them.
