FAQ
Why can’t I find the Print Range or Print Content option?
- Make sure the file you opened is a spreadsheet, not a Writer or Presentation file.
- Tap the top-right ☰ icon and enter the Print flow after choosing a printer.
- In print preview, check the Basic Settings tab and the Page Setup tab for the related options.
What is the difference between Print Range and Print Area?
- Print Range controls which pages are printed, such as all pages or specified pages.
- Print Area controls which content is printed, such as the active worksheet, the entire workbook, or a custom area.
- Decide whether you need to limit page numbers or content scope, then choose the matching setting.
How can I confirm the print result before printing?
- In print preview, check the page count, content scope, and page layout.
- If you only need part of the file, confirm that the correct worksheet or custom area is selected.
- Start printing only after the preview looks correct, so you can avoid unnecessary output.
