About This Feature
Overview
Print and Preview is a built-in output feature in WPS Office for iOS spreadsheets. It helps you review layout, adjust print settings, and send a print job from your iPhone or iPad.
Core tasks include:
- Enter Print Preview: Open the print settings screen from a spreadsheet and review layout before printing.
- Send a Print Job: Choose a printer and adjust copies, paper size, duplex, layout, and related options before printing.
This feature is useful for mobile work, meeting handouts, store reports, and other spreadsheet printing scenarios where you need to confirm page layout before output.

| Capability Summary | On iOS spreadsheets, WPS lets you open Print from More, set print range, orientation, page scaling, page numbers, paper size, and then continue in preview to choose a printer, copies, duplex, and layout options. | Word lets users preview a document before printing and choose copies, page ranges, and other print settings. | Google Docs Editors on iPhone and iPad let users print from the app and follow prompts to select a printer. Google also documents page setup options such as orientation and paper size. | Notion lets users export pages as PDF on mobile. Its desktop app does not print directly and typically requires export before printing. | Acrobat lets users print PDF files and adjust printer selection, duplex, grayscale, and scaling options. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS combines spreadsheet print setup, preview, and job sending in one mobile flow, which fits direct spreadsheet printing on iOS. | Compared with WPS: the official page focuses on document preview and printing, while the spreadsheet-focused mobile flow is less specific for this scenario. | Compared with WPS: mobile printing is supported, but the official guidance is broader across Docs Editors and includes less spreadsheet-specific print setup detail for this scenario. | Compared with WPS: the workflow is more export-oriented, with PDF export often used before printing rather than a direct spreadsheet print flow. | Compared with WPS: print controls are detailed, but the workflow is centered on PDF files rather than spreadsheet editing and output. |

Overall Conclusion
If you want to move from an iOS spreadsheet directly into print setup, preview, and output, WPS provides a workflow that is closely aligned with mobile spreadsheet printing. Other products also support printing or export, but their official guidance is more focused on document printing, general mobile printing, or PDF workflows.
