Page Setup manages how a document is printed.
- From the File menu, select Page Setup. The Page
Setup dialog box is displayed. The name of this dialog box indicates the currently
selected printer. To change the printer, use the Select Printer feature of the BeOS.

The Page Setup dialog box varies with the printer type selected. In this case, the
dialog box is for an Apple Printer.
- Enter the page Margins. To change the unit of measure, use the
tool in the lower left of the Margins box. The tool displays the currently selected
unit of measure.
- Select the type of Paper used in your printer. The tool displays the
current selection.
- Use the Layout tool to select the order which pages are printed.
The 1 Up option prints pages in normal order, the first page of the document is the first
printed. This is the most common printing method for laser and dot matrix
printers. The Last Up option prints the document in reverse order, the last page of
the document is the first page printed. Ink jet style printers usually print this way.
- Set the Scale for the document. Percentages greater than 100%
produce an enlarged document, likewise percentages less than 100% produce a reduced
document.
- Select the Orientation. Check the Use Bitmap Conversion option
to print the document as a bit map. For some older printers this is the only way you
can print a landscape image. Newer printers typically can handle both landscape and
portrait printing without bitmap conversions.
- Click OK when finished. You will need to go to the Print dialog
box to actually print the document. See the topic, How to
Print for more information.
