Previewing the printed page
Print Preview changes the screen view to display your layout without guides,
rulers, and other screen items. Special options, such as tiled output or crop
marks, are displayed. Depending on your currently set printer's capabilities, your
preview will show in either greyscale or colour.
To preview the printed page:
• Choose Print Preview from the File menu.
In Print Preview mode, the lower toolbar provides a variety of view options
(from left to right): Zoom percent, Zoom Out, Zoom slider, Zoom In, the Zoom
(region) Tool, Actual Size, and Fit Page.
To print:
• Click the Print button.
To cancel Print Preview mode:
• Click the Close button.
Basic printing
DrawPlus supports printing directly to a physical printer (e.g., All-in-ones,
Inkjet and Laser printers) or to an electronic file such as Adobe Acrobat PDF.
The printing feature allows scaling, tiling, and many other useful printing
options for either method.
For the moment we'll look at basic printing to "real" printers. However, if you're
working with a service bureau or commercial printer and need to provide PDF
output or colour separations, see Publishing as PDF on p. 249.
