Click the buttons in the interactive below to learn more about using the Print pane.

Print Slides

Here you can choose to print all slides, the current slide, or a specific range of slides.

Printer

You may need to select the printer you want to use if your computer is connected to multiple printers.

Print Button

When you are ready to print the presentation, click the Print button.

Copies

Here you can choose how many copies of the presentation you wish to print.

If you're planning to print multiple copies, it's a good idea to print a test copy first.

Preview Pane

Here you can see a preview of how your presentation will look when printed.

Slide Selection

You can click the arrows to view a different slide in the Preview pane.

Zoom Control/Zoom to Page

You can click the Zoom to Page button on the right to zoom in and out of the Preview pane.

Click and drag the slider to use the Zoom control. The number to the left of the slider bar reflects the zoom percentage.

Color Settings

Here you can choose whether to print in color or grayscale.

We recommend printing in grayscale most of the time to save on color ink.

Collation Settings

If you are printing multiple copies, you can choose whether you want the copies collated or uncollated.

Collation refers to how the slides are sorted in the printed copies. In most situations, collated is the best option, as it sorts each copy for you.

Print Layout

Here you can choose between one of four different Print Layouts:

• Full Page Slides: Prints a full page for each slide in your presentation.

• Notes Page: Prints each slide along with any speaker's notes for the slide.

• Outline: Prints an overall outline of the slide show, much like a multilevel list.

• Handouts: Prints the selected number of slides on each page. This layout is especially helpful if you want to give your audience a physical copy of the presentation.

 

You can also access the Print pane by pressing Ctrl+P on your keyboard.
