Printing basics
Printing your publication to a desktop printer is one of the more likely
operations you'll be performing in PagePlus. The easy-to-use Print
dialog presents the most commonly used options to you, with a
navigable "live" Preview window to check your print output.
The dialog also supports additional printing options via the More
Options button including Double-sided Printing, Mail Merge,
Rasterize, and many other useful printing options. One particular
option, called Layout, allows for print-time imposition of your
publication—simply create a booklet or other folded publication at the
print stage.
Here we'll cover what you need to know for basic desktop printer
output. If you're working with a service bureau or professional printer
and need to provide PDF output, see Publishing PDF files (p. 120).
To set up your printer or begin printing:
1. (Optional) To print selected text or objects, make your selection on
the page.
2. Click
Print on the Standard toolbar. The Print dialog appears.
To set your printing options:
1. Select a currently installed printer from the Printer drop-down list.
If necessary, click the Properties button to set up the printer for the
correct page size, etc.
2. Select a printer profile from the Profile drop-down list. You can just
use Current Settings or choose a previously saved custom profile
(.ppr) based on a combination of dialog settings; Browse lets you
navigate to any .ppr file on your computer. To save current settings,
click the Save As button, and provide a unique profile name. The
profile is added to the drop-down list.
