The screen in Figure 14.15 appears.
There are a lot of really neat options you can select for printing, and then you also have the option of saving your settings for future use by clicking <Save Settings>. Under Page Scale you can decide the scaling of the model. For small models Fit Page is a good choice. Under Border & Background, you can decide whether the model gets printed in color or grayscale, and whether you would like the grid and border to be printed as well. Under the Name and Date Label you can add auditing information to the model. Under Multipage Printing, for large models, you can print page numbers and crop marks to make it easy to tape the pages together.
