Printing

Spread lets you customize your printed sheet with a variety of options.

Your printed pages can include headers and footers. You can decide whether you want to print the sheet border, the column header and row header, the sheet grid, colors, and shadows in headers. You can specify the page number that prints on the first page.

Spread lets you customize which portion of the sheet is printed and the order in which pages print. You can print just the portion of the sheet that contains data or specify a page range. You can place page breaks anywhere you need them.

Pages can print in either portrait or landscape orientation. In addition, you can specify left, right, top, and bottom margins for the printed pages. You can also center the pages. You can use the SmartPrint option of the PrintScalingMethod property, which automatically adjusts the printing to accommodate the data.

If you use the fpSpread ActiveX control, you can use the Owner Print option to print individual sheets to a owner-defined area on a page, one page at a time.

Spread Designer users can choose to print the active view as they work with open sheets, and to apply the print options set for the active view to the options set for the sheet.
