Setting up the page for printing

Use the Page Setup dialog box to set page margins, select a paper source, set page orientation, and more (availability of some options described below may depend on the printer and operating system you are using).

About this task

You can manage these same settings in the Page Setup tab of the Print dialog box, which Notes® displays whenever you click File > Print.

Note: To change paper size, use the Print dialog box, as using the Page Size option in the Page Setup dialog box may not produce the desired result, even though the Print Preview shows correctly. From the menu, click File > Print, and on the Paper tab, select the size you want in the Form Type field.

    To

    Do this

    Set page margins
    • In the Above body or Below body box, enter the amount of space you want between the top or bottom edge of the page and the body text. The default is 1" (2.54 cm).
    • In the Left or Right box, enter the amount of space you want to add to the left or right margin. The default is 0.

    Set header and footer margins

    In the Above header or Below footer box, enter the amount of space you want between the top or bottom edge of the page and the header or footer text. The default is 0.5" (1.27 cm).

    Select a paper source

    In the Paper Source section, select a source for both First page and Other pages using the lists provided (paper sources vary depending on the printer you have selected). The default selection, AutoSelect Tray, uses the first available tray on the printer. Select Manual Feed if you plan to load paper in the printer's manual input slot.

    Set page orientation

    Select Portrait or Landscape in the Orientation section.

    Change the first page number

    If you create headers or footers that include page numbers, you can change the first page number from one to something else by entering a number in the Start page numbers at box under Miscellaneous.

    Print crop marks

    Select Print crop marks under Miscellaneous.

    Override a printer's right edge setting

    Select Clip at left and right margins.

    Print the entire contents of the To and CC fields

    Select Expand Names field contents. Otherwise, only the first three lines of those fields will be printed. This setting overrides the same setting in User Preferences for the current print job only.

    Note: This option appears on the Page Setup of the Print dialog box only when you click File > Print from the menu.
