Printing

0.   Always save first, before printing

1.   Use File/Print PREVIEW to check that it looks right
      If it doesn't look right, try changing the following:
           [File/Page Setup]

          
     Landscape is for printing sideways
    Margins are the spaces around the sides
     A4 is the paper used in Germany (and Europe)
     Letter is American paper - wider and shorter than A4

2.  Use [File/Print] to start printing - never use the  button

      

    Check the Name of the printer - make sure you print to the correct room.
    Use Current Page to print the single page you have on the screen.
    DON'T print more than 1 copy - use a photocopier instead.
    Go pick up your printout - don't just leave it laying on the printer.

3.   If you need to use a different printer (e.g. 322-color),
       use [Start/Settings/Printers] to install it.
