There are a number of parameters which affect what the Editor sends to a printer, from size and orientation of paper, through to margins and borders. If you are connected to a network, you may also be able to choose from a number of different printers. In order to access the Print Setup dialog:
- select Print Setup… from the File menu, or
- click the Setup… button in the Print dialog, as described above.
