How to Print: Tutorial on Printing Word, PDF & Photo Documents (Image)

How to print is one thing we must learn to complement our knowledge in computer skills. Because the print or print file is one of the demands in the world of work and also indeed we should be able to do it.

For those of you who have mastered it certainly does not feel difficulties. But on the contrary, for those of you who are just learning, there may be things that are not yet known. So, computer tips this time we will discuss how to print or print either office documents, pdf, or image files.

Previously please note that to be able to print, we need a computer and also a printer. The printer is one computer output device which we can connect to a computer that functions to print various kinds of soft files / documents from a computer.

At the beginning of the printer tutorial, we discussed how to install a printer so that the printer is connected to a computer so we can use it. Therefore, we assume that there is already a computer and printer unit ready for us to use.

How to Print Office Documents

Alright, let's just start with the first tutorial that I think is most needed, which is to print or print office documents in Word, Excel or Power Point.

• The first step, you prepare the file to be printed, fine Word, Excel, or PPT (power porint), then activate (open)
• From the worksheet, you can click file -> Print. Or you can use the keyboard shortcut, press the button Ctrl + P

• If you don't need certain settings, just click Print like in the picture above.

Some settings in the print menu that you should know about. Here we are served a number of other menu settings that we can use if we want. The following are:

1. Copies - Click the up arrow if you want to print multiple copies (sheets) of the document
2. Printer - Select the printer you will use, this is possible if your computer is connected to more than one type of printer
3. Printer Properties - Click to enter the menu Printer Properties
4. Print All Pages - Select the option whether you will print all pages, only the current page, or a specific page by typing the page number in the pages column
5. Print One Sided - Select whether you want to print one side or two sides on one sheet of paper. This is set if you want to print / print back and forth.
6. Collated - This menu allows you to print more than one copy with sequential options, 1,2,3 1,2,3 1,2,3 or in print order 1,1,1 2,2,2 3,3,3
7. Portrait Orientation - Set the print format portrait or landscape
8. A4 - To set the paper size
9. Normal Margin - Set the writing margin
10. 1 page per Sheet - To set print pages on one sheet, or 2 pages on one sheet, or more than that.
11. Page Setup - Enter the menu Page Setup

These settings also apply if you are going to print Excel and ppt documents, only there is a slight difference. For example on ppt you will not find the term page (page) because the existing ppt is a slide. Likewise with Excel, but in general the menus that are served have the same function.

How to print / print PDF documents

In the last post we have already learned how to change words to pdf and vice versa. Can we print pdf documents with a printer? Of course, I can. But we no longer use Office software. And this depends on what software is used to open the pdf document.

Incidentally the computer that I use this time, open pdf using software adobe reader. So the steps - steps to print a pdf document as follows:

• Open the pdf document file that you want to print
• From the Adobe Reader worksheet the print menu can be done with three options
• First click file -> Print

• Secondly click the icon on the toolbar with the printer logo

• Third you can use the Ctrl + P shortcut keys as in the discussion that we have explained above

Just like when printing Office documents, on the Pdf file worksheet we are also presented with several settings in printing. Here are some settings that we need to know when printing or printing PDF files.

1. Printer - Select the printer that you will use to print documents
2. Print Range - Set the page you want to print, all or only the current page, or the visible page, or you can print a specific page by entering the page number.
3. Page Handling - In this option you can specify how many copies you will print, and also the collate menu as we have learned above. In addition there is also a Page Scaling to adjust the width of the printed page with the paper page.
4. Page Setup - Enter the page setup menu
5. Properties - Enter the menu printer properties
6. OK - click OK to start printing

How to Print / Print Image File

It might arise in your mind, after reading and studying the two tutorials above. How do I print an image file or image, whether through word software or directly?
You can both do it. The first way you can insert the image that you want to print on MS Word is by inserting an image, then you print it. Or you can also directly print it when we open the image.

For the first way it seems we don't need to repeat it anymore, you can follow the tutorial above. Well, for the second way is very easy.

• First you open the image file (photo) that you want to print
• By default Windows will open your photos with Windows Photo Viewer software
• There is already a print menu on the toolbar menu, all you have to do is click

• Or you can also use the shortcut key Ctrl + P

In the print menu of this image you will also be presented with several settings menus as follows:

1. Printer - To choose which printer you will use
2. Paper size - Select the paper size
3. Quality - Select the print quality
4. Paper type– To choose the type of paper or type of paper you are using
5. Layout - Select the size of the photo on the printed sheet of paper
6. Copies - Define the amount you want to print
7. Fit picture to frame - Check to adjust picture frames, or remove prints if you don't want to

Well, those are some tutorials for printing both office word, excel or ppt documents, then pdf documents and also image or photo files. Not easy enough, for other settings that we can't discuss, you can try it yourself.

There is one more thing that I want to share related to how to print or print files on a computer that is how to print / print black and white. This is also quite easy, especially if the printer you are using really only has black ink.

But can it be set in black and white even though we use a color printer? We can do this too. The trick is to make arrangements

• From the Print menu, please click on printer properties.
• Then the printer properties window will come out as shown below

• To print in black and white you check the Additional Features option in the section Grayscale Printing
• Then click OK

That way, your printout will turn black and white even if you print in color and also use a color printer. So this tutorial, hopefully useful!
