When working with electronic documents or searching for information on the web, it is often necessary to create a hard copy, i.e. print the text. Setting up the printer and the appearance of the document is done using the operating system.
Instructions
Step 1
To print a text file in the "File" menu, select the "Print" option. You can replace this command with the keyboard shortcut Ctrl + P or by clicking the Print button as the printer icon on the toolbar. The print settings window appears.
Step 2
If you use several printers (for example, network and local), in the "Printer" section, open the "Name" list and select the required device.
Step 3
Click Properties. In the "Layout" tab, set the print options. The appearance of the printed text will depend on the orientation of the sheet - "Landscape" or "Portrait" and the number of pages on the sheet. Try changing these parameters - the appearance of the page will be displayed in the preview window on the right.
Step 4
If you want to print a part of the text, in the "Pages" section, specify the required page numbers or select a fragment with the cursor and set toggle to the "Selection" position. In the Copies section, specify the number of duplicate pages you want to print.
Step 5
Click Options for more detailed print settings. Specify in the options box whether you want to print pictures, background images, special formatting characters, hidden text, and more.
Step 6
In the "Print" section, click "Preview" to select the margins, page size, and more. After setting all the necessary parameters, click OK to start the printing process.
Step 7
You can print a web page in the same ways: by choosing the "Print" button on the toolbar, by pressing Ctrl + P, or by the "Print" command from the "File" menu. Or like this: select the entire page or a fragment of it and copy the selection to the clipboard Ctrl + C. Then open a text editor and paste the contents of the clipboard Ctrl + V. Print the finished text in the usual way.
Step 8
If it does not print, check to see if the icon and printer name is in Control Panel under Printers and Faxes. The default printer is marked with a black check mark. If the desired icon is not in the group, check if the device is securely connected to the system unit.
Step 9
If there is an icon, right-click on it and select "Open" from the drop-down menu. In a new window in the "Printer" menu, apply the command "Clear print queue" and confirm by clicking OK.
