Controls the way a document prints.

Name — Specifies the printer that you want to use. You can select from a list of all the configured printers available for printing.

Properties — Accesses the Printer Document Properties Dialog Box.

Status — Displays the current status of the selected printer. This area is read-only.

Type — Displays the type of printer currently selected. This area is read-only.

Where — Displays the printer path or location for the currently selected printer. This area is read-only.

Comment — Displays any comments you input during printer configuration. This area is read-only.

Print to file — Prints the document to a file, instead of a printer. You specify the file's name on the Print to file dialog box after you set the check box and click OK on the Print dialog box. This saves a document to a file instead of routing it directly to a printer or plotter. Then, you can print from a computer that does not have the application installed or print to a printer other than the one you currently have installed.

In SmartSketch when you position the pointer in this dialog box and right-click, you can access a variety of standard commands that help you manage your documents more efficiently. For example, if you select a document in the list and then right-click, you can then click the Select command on the shortcut menu to automatically open the document. You can also create shortcuts; send the document somewhere else, and other activities.

Print Range — Displays options for selecting the print range.

All Sheets — Prints all drawing sheets in the active document.

Selected Sheets — Prints all the sheets that you selected as a composite document, as layers all on one sheet of paper.

Sheets — Specifies the range of pages that you want to print. You can type the starting page you want to print as the "From" value and the ending page you want to print as the "To" value. In the Sheets box, type a range with a hyphen between the sheet numbers. For example, to print sheets 3 through 7, type 3-7. This prints each sheet on a separate piece of paper.

Print Area — Accesses the Print Area dialog box. When you click this option and then click OK on the dialog box, a set of crosshairs appears. You drag the crosshairs to define the area that you want to print. Then, the Print Area dialog box automatically appears so that you can set various options for printing the area that you selected.

Copies — Sets options for the number of copies you want to print.

Number Of Copies — Specifies the number of copies you want to print.

Collate — Organizes sheets when you print multiple copies.

Pure Black and White — Prints a black and white document.

Settings — Accesses the Settings dialog box.
