If you want to adjust any printer settings, click the
Properties button. The dialog box that appears when you click
Properties varies from printer to printer. Click
OK to close the printer's
Properties dialog box once you've made any needed changes. If, for example, your printer's properties support multiple pages per sheet, you can select the number of slides you want on each printed page (as opposed to the one slide per page that Draw normally prints). You can also use the
Properties dialog box to select the paper type and print quality you want.

Adjust the Print Options
Click the
Options button to display the
Printer Options dialog box. From the
Printer Options dialog box, you can adjust several print settings, such as whether you want to print in grayscale or black and white (to save color ink or toner), whether you want the date and time printed, and whether you want Draw to scale down your drawing to fit a single printed page if needed.
NOTES
Although it's called the
Printer Options dialog box, this dialog box is not printer specific; rather, it controls the way your drawing appears when printed. If, for instance, you want to produce a brochure, you could click to select the
Brochure option and specify whether you want Draw to print on both the front and back of the paper. For automatic double-sided printing, you need a printer that supports double-sided printing.
If you select
Tile pages , and if the drawing's page size is smaller than the paper size you're printing on, this option prints multiple copies of each slide in a tiled pattern, on a single piece of paper. To change the page size used in a drawing, choose
Format, Page , click the
Page tab, select
User from the
Format list, and enter the dimensions you want to use for the
Width and
Height .
Click the
OK button to close the
Printer Options dialog box.

Select What to Print
Click to select either
All or
Pages to designate whether you want to print the entire drawing (assuming that the drawing contains multiple slides) or only a portion of it. If you clicked
Pages , type the slide number you want to print, or a range of slide numbers (such as
25 or
110, 1525 ).
