| + | To print a brochure on a single-sided printer: |
| − | __NOTOC__
| + | |
| | | | |
| − | = Controlling printing =
| + | # Click '''File > Print'''. In the Print dialog, click '''Properties''' and be sure the printer is set to the same orientation (portrait or landscape) as specified in the page setup for your document. (Usually the orientation does not matter, but it does for brochures.) |
| − | Impress provides many options for printing a presentation: with multiple slides on one page, with a single slide per page, with notes, as an outline, with date and time, with page name, and more.
| + | # Click '''Options'''. In the ''Pages'' section of the Printer Options dialog, choose '''Brochure''' and '''Right pages'''. Click '''OK''' twice to print the first side of each page. |
| − | | + | # Flip the pages and put them back into the printer, new side up, and in the correct orientation. You may need to experiment a bit to find out what the correct arrangement is for your printer. |
| − | For more control over printing a presentation, choose '''File > Print''' to display the Print dialog.
| + | # Click '''File > Print''' and check '''Properties''' to make sure the printer setup is still correct. |
| − | | + | # Click '''Options''' again. In the ''Pages'' section of the Printer Options dialog, choose '''Brochure''' and '''Left pages'''. Click '''OK''' twice to print the second side of each page. |
| − | [[Image:IG10-1.png|IG10-1.png]]<br>''The Print dialog.''
| + | # If your printer can do double-sided printing, then select the checkboxes for both '''Left''' and '''Right''' along with '''Brochure'''. |
| − | | + | |
| − | On the Print dialog, you can choose:
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * Which printer to use (if more than one are installed on your system) and the properties of the printer—for example, orientation (portrait or landscape), which paper tray to use, and what paper size to print on. The properties available depend on the selected printer; consult the printer’s Selecting default print optionsdocumentation for details.
| + | |
| − | * What slides to print, how many copies to print, and in what order to print them.
| + | |
| − | ** ''Pages'' prints the slide numbers you list in the box. Use hyphens to indicate ranges and commas or semicolons to separate ranges; for example: 1, 5, 11-14, 34-40.
| + | |
| − | ** ''Selection'' prints selected objects. This choice is available only when you have selected one or more objects on a slide (in Normal view).
| + | |
| − | * What items to print. Click the '''Options''' button to display the [[#Selecting printer options for a presentation|Printer Options dialog]].
| + | |

| − | | + | |
| − | * ''Drawing'' prints one slide per page, full page, in landscape.
| + | |
| − | * ''Notes'' prints a single slide per page with any notes entered for that slide in ''Notes View.''
| + | |

| − | Under ''Quality'':
| + | |
| − | | + | |
| − | * ''Default'' prints the presentation in color on a color printer or in grayscale on a mono printer, including all background colors and images.

| + | |
| − | * ''Grayscale'' prints in black, white and grayscale on both color and mono printers, and does not print background colors or images.
| + | |
| − | * ''Black & white'' prints in black, white and grayscale and does not print background colors or images.

| + | |
