1.

Choose File, Print

Select

Print from the

File menu. The

Print dialog box opens.

106 Set Draw Options .

3.

Adjust the Properties

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.

4.

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.

5.

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 ).

6.

Determine the Number of Copies to Print

Click the arrow next to the

Number of Copies option to determine how many copies you want to print.

7.

Print the Drawing

OK button to print your drawing and close the

Print dialog box.
