Windows Tips: Quick and Easy Ways to Master Windows Printing

If your printer supports it, Windows lets you print several pages at once on a single piece of paper. This is a great way to make archival hard copies of files, analyze a document's layout, or make paper-saving proofs of large-type documents (such as presentation slides).

Open your application's Print dialog box, select the desired printer, and click Properties or Preferences. If the Print dialog box has a Layout tab, click it. You may need to right-click the printer icon and choose something like Printing Preferences. In the box next to Pages Per Sheet, make a selection--the options are usually 1, 2, 4, 6, 9, and 16, plus a Booklet setting. You'll see an example of the resulting layout elsewhere in the dialog box. When you're done, click OK or Print.
