Print Options dialog box

To display the Print Options dialog box select Print or Preview on the File menu.

Allows you to specify options for printing, such as the number labels to print, the starting position as well as many other options. There are two methods of selection depending on the selection you make under Elements to Print. You can either select elements on a single page by clicking on a graphical representation of the page or by entering the total number to print and the starting position.

Select this to enable graphical selection of one or more elements on a single page (see Click to select/deselect individual elements below).

Select this to enter the total number of elements to print and the start position (see Specify the qty to print and start position below.)

•	To print more than one page at a time choose Multiple pages of elements under Elements to print and see Specify qty to print and start position below.

Enter the position where the first item is printed on the first sheet. The upper left side item is 1, the number increases across, then down. You must start at position 1 if you are printing both sides of the page.

Check this if you want the Quantity to Print to represent the number of actual elements being printed.

•	Elements refers to the number of individual labels, cards, etc.

Check this if you want the Quantity to Print to represent the number of actual pages being printed.

Click this to fill the Quantity to Print with the number of records in the linked database.

Enter the number of copies of each record to print. This is useful when printing from a database and you want more than one copy of each record.

Select a field from the linked database that contains an integer value specifying the number of times to print the record. This value overrides and number entered under Fixed.

•	The Calc DB Qty, Start at Record and Copies of each options are only shown if a database is linked to your design.

Check this option to print crop marks. Crop marks are marks that are printed at the edge of the paper to show the position of each row and column to aid in cutting the stock. Use crop marks and/or corner marks (see below) as a guide when cutting your own stock.

Check this option to print corner marks. Corner marks are marks that are printed at the corner of each element to aid in cutting the stock. Use corner marks and/or crop marks (see above) as a guide when cutting your own stock.

Check this option to print the filename at the top of each page. Printing the filename on the page can help you when proofing multiple designs. Choose this option to print the filename of the design file at the top of the page.

Check this option to print the filename at the bottom of the page. Printing the filename on the page can help you when proofing multiple designs. Choose this option to print the filename of the design file at the bottom of the page.

Check this option to enable fast printing. This option will dramatically increase printing speed for designs that do not include rotated/transparent graphics. This option is especially useful when printing thousands of mailing labels with only text or simple graphics, shapes and/or lines.

Click this to edit the layout to correct spacing issues or set other options for the design.

Check this option to go back to the first record after the last record is printed.

Check this option to go back to the first variable text item after the last variable text item is printed.

•	The Cycle Records and Cycle Variable Text options are only shown if a database is linked to your design or you have variable text specified.

Check this to print the second side of a two sided design. You will be prompted to turn the paper and re-insert it into your printer after side 1 is printed.

Check this to enable duplex printing. Duplex printing allows you to print on both sides of the paper automatically. Some printers have this option built in, others offer an add-on to do this and some do not support it at all.

Check this option to save the selected options use the next time you print or preview the same design:

NOTE: Options on saved for each design individually. When you create a new design the default options are always initially selected.

•	Because all printers are slightly different, it is recommended that you print a single page draft of your design the first time you print. Do this on regular paper and verify that the alignment is correct to avoid wasting expensive specialty stock.

•	If your printout is not aligned correctly on the printout. (See Edit Current Layout)
