The Setup button opens a window for setting up and configuring the printer. For more information, see your printer manual.
Linux users can also specify here the command to be used to initiate the printing process.
Lets you choose which parts of the document to print:
▪Whole document
| Print the entire document (all worksheets). |
▪Only selected cells
| Print only those cells that are currently selected on the current worksheet. |
▪Current worksheet
| Print only the current worksheet. |
▪Only selected worksheets
| Print only those worksheets that are currently selected in the worksheet register. |
▪Only the following worksheets

Ignore print range
When you activate this option, any print ranges defined in the document will be ignored.
Background information: You can define a print range for each worksheet in a document. When a print range is defined, only the cells inside this cell range will appear in printouts. The rest of the sheet will be omitted.
You can temporarily disable this feature anytime by activating this option.
For more information on print ranges, see Setting page format options.
Pages
Specify here the pages of the document to be printed:
▪All
| Print all pages of the document. |
▪Pages:
| Print only the specified pages. You must enter the desired page numbers, for example: |
12 |
Print page 12 only |
12-15 |
Print pages 12 to 15 |
12- |
Print page 12 and all of the following pages |
-12 |
Print pages 1 to 12 |
| You can also enter more than one such page number by separating them with commas: |
2-5, 12 |
Print pages 2 to 5 and page 12 |
etc. |
|
▪You can also use the option Pages to print to specify whether all selected pages or only the pages with a even or odd page number should be printed.
▪For Pages per sheet, you can specify how many pages to print on a sheet of paper. PlanMaker usually prints only one page per sheet. However, you can instruct the program to output four pages (scaled down accordingly) per sheet at a time.
Options
This section of the dialog box contains additional printing options:
▪Copies
| Here, you can specify the number of copies of the document to be printed. |
▪Collate copies
| This option specifies whether to sort the print output by page number when printing multiple copies of a document. |
| If you enable this option and print multiple copies of a document with, for example, three pages, the pages will be output in the following order: 1-2-3, 1-2-3, 1-2-3, and so on. |
| If it is not enabled, the order will be: 1-1-1..., 2-2-2..., 3-3-3... |
| Note: Some printers do not support this function. |
▪Print to file
| This option redirects the print output to a file instead of a physical printer. |
▪Drop pictures
| This option skips all pictures and drawings when printing (useful for fast test printouts). |
▪Reverse order
| This option prints the pages from last to first. |
To start printing, click on OK.
Tip: Before actually printing a document, you can preview the printout via the ribbon command File | Print preview. This feature enables you to avoid wasting paper on test prints.
