Change page output options before printing on Mac
Before printing, use the Page Setup dialogue to set document output options. The Page Set-up dialogue has different options depending on your printer and the app you’re using. Some apps don’t use a Page Set-Up dialogue.
Option | Description |
|---|---|
Settings | Choose Page Attributes to create settings for the current document. |
Format For | Choose Any Printer to select settings that you want to use for any printer by default. If the settings are for a specific printer, choose the printer’s name. |
Paper Size | Choose the page size that you’ll be printing on. When you create a new document in this app, the document is automatically formatted to fit this page size. |
Orientation | Choose portrait (vertical) or landscape (horizontal) orientation. |
Scale | Reduce or enlarge the printout by entering a percentage. If you’re printing a document to a paper size that’s different from the size the document was formatted for, select the “Scale to fit paper size” option in the Print dialogue. |
When you print, you see additional options for controlling the appearance of your document in the Print dialogue.
