About This Feature
Overview
Print and Preview is a built-in output feature in WPS Office for iOS Sheets. It helps you adjust print settings on your phone, review page output, and send a print job.
Core tasks include:
- Open print preview: Go to the print settings screen from the top menu bar to review print range, orientation, page scaling, and more settings.
- Adjust print settings and print: In the preview flow, choose a printer, copies, paper size, duplex options, layout, and other settings before sending the job.
This feature is useful for mobile work, field approvals, and on-the-go document output when you need to check layout before printing.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | In iOS Sheets files, WPS lets you open print settings directly and supports print range, orientation, page scaling, page numbers, paper size, print order, printer selection, copies, duplex, layout, and preview before printing. | Microsoft Word lets users preview a document before printing and choose page ranges, copies, and other print options through its print workflow. | Google Docs and Sheets let users print from the File menu, adjust settings such as margins or page orientation, and review output in a preview window. | Notion can print pages, but the desktop app does not print directly and often requires exporting to PDF first; some content types such as full-page databases have extra limits. | Adobe Acrobat supports PDF printing with printer selection, duplex, grayscale, scaling, and other print controls, with a stronger focus on PDF output. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS combines spreadsheet print settings, preview, and print-job sending in one mobile workflow, which is practical when you need how to print from iPhone without switching devices. | Compared with WPS: the official guidance focuses on document printing workflows rather than an iOS spreadsheet print flow. | Compared with WPS: the official workflow is mainly browser-based or desktop-oriented, with less emphasis on native mobile spreadsheet print controls. | Compared with WPS: printing is more export-centered, so direct spreadsheet print control is less centralized. | Compared with WPS: Acrobat offers deeper PDF-specific print control, but it is centered on PDF files instead of in-editor spreadsheet printing. |

Overall Conclusion
WPS Print and Preview is well suited to spreadsheet output on iOS because the entry point is centralized and the print settings cover common mobile printing needs. If your work is centered on browser printing, export-based workflows, or PDF-specific printing, the other products may fit those scenarios better.
