How-to Guide
1. Switch paper orientation through print settings

- Open the spreadsheet you want to print.
- Tap the ☰ icon at the top right.
- Tap Print and select an available printer.
- In print preview, switch to the Page Setup tab.
- Tap Orientation.
- Select Portrait or Landscape.
Success Criteria
- Interface result: The page direction in print preview changes.
- Next action available: You can continue reviewing the preview or proceed to the system print service.
Tips While Using
- Common mistake: If you do not enter print preview first, you may not see the orientation setting.
- Environment limit: If no printer or system print service is configured, you may not be able to complete the full print flow.
2. Choose portrait or landscape based on spreadsheet content
Feature path: Print Preview → Page Setup → Orientation
- Enter print preview.
- Review whether the spreadsheet mainly contains many columns or long vertical content.
- If you need to show more columns on one page, select Landscape.
- If the content is better suited to top-to-bottom reading, select Portrait.
- Confirm the choice by checking the preview result.
Success Criteria
- Interface result: The preview layout matches the spreadsheet content more appropriately.
- Next action available: You can continue adjusting other page settings or print directly.
Tips While Using
- Common mistake: Choosing an orientation by habit without checking the preview for the actual sheet width.
- Environment limit: The same orientation may look different under different paper sizes.
3. Check the print result after changing orientation
Feature path: Print Preview
- Switch to Portrait or Landscape in Orientation.
- Check whether the number of visible columns changes.
- Review whether the content becomes too small, page breaks look unsuitable, or blank space becomes excessive.
- If the result is not suitable, switch orientation again and preview once more.
- Continue to print after confirmation.
Success Criteria
- Interface result: The preview matches the expected print direction.
- Next action available: You can submit the print job directly.
- No side effects: Changing orientation does not change the original spreadsheet data.
Tips While Using
- Common mistake: Switching orientation without reviewing the preview again before printing.
- Environment limit: If a printer handles output differently, the final result may differ slightly from the preview.
