Page setup
Scale Fit to paper: Scales a document to fit within the page’s printable area.
Remember that objects outside the layout area, will not be printed.
Center on paper: Centers a document on the printed page. If you’re
printing selected objects only, Canvas shifts the selected items to the
center of the printed media. This option can be useful when you have
selected objects that you want to print in the center of the page, but they
are not centered in the document itself.
Tile: Prints a large document by dividing it among “tiles” of printer
pages. Type an Overlap value in the text box so part of the document
repeats at the edge of adjoining tiles; the overlap makes it easier to
assemble the complete document after printing.
Thumbnails Print thumbnails: Select the number of pages to print per page. The
preview area shows how your pages will be placed on the paper.
Previewing your printed document
The print preview reflects the current print settings and the page setup. In the preview, you can see
which objects, layers, and pages will be printed. You can make sure the layout fits in the printable
area of the paper. If you choose the Tile option in the Page Setup tab or dialog box, the preview shows
the tiles as separate pages.
