If you go into this you can apply a watermark and you can type some text here. You also have some other options here like go back to one page per sheet and I can reverse the page and flip it.Īnother section here is Watermark. You can also place a border around the pages like that. You can choose the layout direction, the direction the pages flow. The idea here is maybe you can save some paper if you don't mind the text being smaller or you just want to kind of print a preview of a document to look over and not necessarily the final document right now. I can't choose exactly which pages I want. It also gets rid of the page selection here. Now I've got eight instead of fifteen sheets. You could see here it switches to horizontal layout and puts two pages per sheet. So here I've got one page per sheet but look what happens if I switch to two. So pages, actually like a page in your document, where sheet is a piece of paper. In this section you can decide to print more than one page per sheet. Now one section you'll see almost all the time is Layout. But your printer may or may not have something that supports displaying that here in the Print Dialogue. It actually shows me the levels of my toner. I've also got Printer Info here at the bottom. Under Paper Handling you may also see some settings like this or ones that are a little different for your printer. Let's scroll down here and you can see under Media & Quality I can select a media type and a quality type and you may see something similar like that for your printer. Preview can handle pdf's and images and you may see different options here depending on the document type that you've got. For instance some apps handle various types of documents. The third factor could be the document you're trying to print. So I can close or open the Pages section. Note that each of these sections here can be opened or closed by using the Disclosure Triangle to the left. So if I wasn't printing in Pages, if I was printing in another app, I wouldn't see this here. For instance here the first set of options I see are for Pages. The second factor is the app that you're using. But, of course, you wouldn't have that option there if you've got a printer that just prints black and white. For instance my printer is a color printer here and you can see I've got the option to print in color. Now most of the rest of the settings depend on three factors. You can always switch back to All Pages like that and it will still remember the selection you had if you want to go back to it. You can click here and you can see it says pages 1 to 3 and 6, or 1-3, 6-7 10 13-14. When you do that each of the pages here has a little circle that you can click to include that page. You can select a range and then choose from a page number to another page number.

Now if you don't want to print all the pages in your document you can control that as well. In most cases that is all you need to do. Then if everything looks good you can click the Print button here to print the document. On the left you can scroll through a preview of the document and see how many pages there are. You can set the number of copies here if you want to print more than one copy. This just takes you to the section in the System Settings where you can do this. You also have the option to Add Printer or go to Settings.

If you have more than one printer attached to your Mac or on your network you'll see them all here and you can select which one you want to send the document to. So if you want to stick to the Basics all you need to do is pay attention to the printer here. You can actually grab the bottom here and drag down to expand it. So it's kind of its own window but kind of also part of this window. The Print Dialogue appears as an overlay on it and is attached to it. Notice here the Pages window is still the main active window. If you didn't know to switch to the detailed mode you'd wonder where a lot of the options went. Previously you had a simplified mode and a detailed mode. A big improvement is there is now just one mode. Now in 2022 with the release of macOS Ventura the print dialogue has a whole new look. For instance, here in Pages if I go to File, Print or just Command P it brings up the Print Dialogue. This is the window attached to the main window that has a set of controls and options that you can set before you print. So when you go to print a document or webpage you end up at the Print Dialogue. Join us and get exclusive content and course discounts. There you can read more about the Patreon Campaign.
