# Page Setup

Page Setup manages how a document is printed.

1. From the File menu, select Page Setup. The Page Setup dialog box is displayed. The name of this dialog box indicates the currently selected printer. To change the printer, use the Select Printer feature of the BeOS.
   The Page Setup dialog box varies with the printer type selected. In this case, the dialog box is for an Apple Printer.
2. Enter the page Margins. To change the unit of measure, use the tool in the lower left of the Margins box. The tool displays the currently selected unit of measure.
3. Select the type of Paper used in your printer. The tool displays the current selection.
4. Use the Layout tool to select the order which pages are printed. The 1 Up option prints pages in normal order, the first page of the document is the first printed. This is the most common printing method for laser and dot matrix printers. The Last Up option prints the document in reverse order, the last page of the document is the first page printed. Ink jet style printers usually print this way.
5. Set the Scale for the document. Percentages greater than 100% produce an enlarged document, likewise percentages less than 100% produce a reduced document.
6. Select the Orientation. Check the Use Bitmap Conversion option to print the document as a bit map. For some older printers this is the only way you can print a landscape image. Newer printers typically can handle both landscape and portrait printing without bitmap conversions.
7. Click OK when finished. You will need to go to the Print dialog box to actually print the document. See the topic, How to Print for more information.
