Print Window

The Print window allows you to specify the printer to send the data sheets for all types of folios, general spreadsheets, reports, other tools (i.e., SimuMatic), and plot sheets, as well as printing options for the sheet.

• Printer

• • Name allows you to use a drop-down menu to select the printer you want to send the item to. Once you select a printer, the Status, Driver, Where and Comments information will automatically be updated to reflect the corresponding information about the selected printer.

  • Print to File opens the Print to file window when you click OK in the Print window. This option allows you to specify a file name and extension for the printed item, which will then be printed to the file instead of sent to the specified printer. If not selected, the item will be sent to the specified printer.

• Properties opens the printer’s Document Properties window, which allows you to set printing properties for the selected printer.

• Orientation displays how the sheet will be printed on the page. The orientation can also be specified in the Document Properties window, accessed by clicking Properties.

• • Portrait sets the page orientation to portrait (tall and narrow).

  • Landscape sets the page orientation to landscape (short and wide).

• Copies allows you to specify the number of copies of the item you want to print.

• • Collate collates sheets sent to the printer if more than one copy was printed. If not selected, the printer will print multiple copies of each sheet in their original print order.

If a data sheet or a spreadsheet is in focus, the Print window will have additional options.

• Page Range

• • All Pages prints all the pages in the item.

  • From __ to __ prints only the specified page range for the item. For example, if an item is 10 pages long and you enter From "5" to "10", only the last 5 pages will be printed.

• Print What

• • Active Sheet prints only the currently active sheet in the spreadsheet.

  • Entire Book prints all the sheets in the spreadsheet.

  • Selection prints only the selected cell range in the currently active sheet in the spreadsheet. To select a cell range, place the cursor in the cell that you want to be the uppermost left cell of the range. While holding down the left mouse button, drag the cursor to the cell that you want to be the lowermost right cell of the range. When you release the mouse, the selected cells will be highlighted with a black background. It is this selected range that will be displayed on the printed page.

• Preview opens the Print Preview window, which allows you to preview the pages before sending to the printer. Please note that closing the Print Preview window will return you to the current data sheet or spreadsheet’s window, not the Print window.
