How-to Guide
1. Open Print Scaling settings
Feature path: Tap the top-right ☰ icon → Print → Select a printer → Enter print preview → Page Setup → Scaling
- Open the spreadsheet file you want to print.
- Tap the top-right ☰ icon.
- Tap Print and select an available printer.
- After entering print preview, switch to the Page Setup tab.
- Tap Scaling to view the available print scaling options.
Success Criteria
- Interface result: You are in print preview and can see Page Setup and Scaling.
- Next action available: You can choose different scaling modes and review preview changes.
Tips While Using
- Common mistake: If you do not select a printer first, you may not enter the full print preview flow.
- Environment note: If you use a network printer, make sure the device and printer connection is working normally.
2. Choose a scaling mode
Feature path: Print preview → Page Setup → Scaling
- Open the list under Scaling.
- Choose a mode based on the worksheet content.
- Available options include No Scaling, Fit Sheet on One Page, Fit All Columns on One Page, and Fit All Rows on One Page.
- Return to preview and review the page layout change.
Success Criteria
- Interface result: The selected scaling mode is applied and the preview layout changes accordingly.
- Next action available: You can compare other modes or continue to print.
Tips While Using
- Common mistake: Choosing a mode without considering the worksheet width and length may make text too small or page breaks less suitable.
- Environment note: Different printers, paper sizes, and printable areas may produce different preview results.
3. Adjust the print page based on preview
Feature path: Print preview
- Review page breaks, column width, and row height in the current preview.
- If the full page looks too small, switch to Fit All Columns on One Page or Fit All Rows on One Page.
- If you want to keep the original proportion, switch to No Scaling.
- Confirm the page result and print.
Success Criteria
- Interface result: The preview matches the expected print layout.
- Next action available: You can print directly without changing the worksheet's on-screen editing layout again.
- No side effect: The scaling setting affects print output only and does not change how the worksheet appears during editing.
Tips While Using
- Common mistake: Printing after checking only the current preview page may cause later page layout issues to be missed.
- Environment note: If the worksheet contains a large amount of content, multiple pages may still be needed even after scaling.
