YES! It is a good idea to do a print preview before actually printing.
If you are printing a MS office document
- Click File>Print to see a preview.
- If everything looks good, choose your print options and select "Print". Or, you can click on the arrow button located on the top left to go back into your document to make any necessary changes.
To preview in Microsoft Edge
- Click the three dot ellipsis (...) in the upper right corner and select "Print".
- The Print Preview will appear in the Print dialog box.
To preview in Google Chrome
- Click on the menu button (it looks like 3 horizontal dots) located to the right of the address bar.
- Select "Print" and the dialog box will automatically pull up the preview of the page(s) you are wanting to print.
To preview in Mozilla FireFox
- Click on the menu button located in the upper right corner (it looks like 3 horizontal lines) and select "Print".
- This will automatically pull up the "print preview" screen where you can choose specific print options.
In Print Preview you can set any of the following options before printing:
- Portrait/landscape mode
- Page set-up
- Header and footer options
- Show multiple pages
- Change print size

- Look at the number of pages to print, page through them to print a range of pages or just one if needed. Not all Internet browsers print the same.
- Use CTRL - SHIFT - P to manually open a print dialog box that allows the user to access NWTC PaperCut printing options. Click on "More Settings" to open. Good for single sided printing, changing to color printing and other options.
