Configuring print options

To print a page, click on FILE on the menu and then select PRINT >> Current Page.
Please note that FotoFusion will print multiple pages for Extreme license users and for Enhanced and Essentials users working with multipage templates from the dotScrap marketplace.

This is the main Printing Options window, displaying a multipage project (Extreme only).
Click on the button to view all available printing options if you do not see the options to the right side of the window.

Printer all options

Printing Single, Multiple Pages
Multi-page projects will display in column of thumbnails to left. The thumbnails that will be printed will display a checkmark. Turn the checkmark off to remove the item from the print job.

You can choose to print the "All Pages" or print like-size layouts (eg. 10x10s, then 20x10s) within a single layout.
Clicking the "All" button will select every page in the list; "Current" will select the page currently loaded on your Create screen.

Previewing Output
To preview your printed output, choose . This will result in an onscreen preview of your printed output.

While previewing, several new buttons appear at the top of the page, which allow you to:

•	Print what is being previewed

•	Go to the next/previous page (if your license enables you to make a multi-page project)

•	Show two pages at once (if your license enables you to make a multi-page project)

•	Zoom in/out (expand the preview to see more detail)

•	Close (close the print preview and return to what you were doing)

Changing and Configuring the Printer
Clicking the button allows you to select a different printer, as well as configure the print quality and other printer-specific options. Each printer driver is specific to the make and model of the printer, so be very careful when selecting options as these will affect your FotoFusion output. Be sure to check your printer setup to verify that your printer has the correct type of paper selected and that no options will interfere with your print job (eg. quality of print, multiple copies, etc.).

Scaling
There are two main printing options in FotoFusion:

•	No Resizing (even if it requires multiple pages to print). This option will print your collage at exactly the dimensions that you selected when creating it.

o	If your layout is 6x6 inches, it will be printed at exactly 6x6 inches on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper.

o	If you layout is 36x24 inches, it will not fit on a single 8.5x11 sheet of paper.

▪	FotoFusion Extreme is capable of splitting printed output across multiple pages.

▪	FotoFusion Enhanced and FotoFusion Scrapbook Essentials can only print to exactly one sheet at a time.

•	Resize only if necessary

o	If your layout is bigger than the printed page, it will be printed at a reduced size; if it is too small, it will be printed larger.

o	Use this option if the precise dimensions of your printed output don't matter: you just want to use paper as efficiently as you can.

•	No Resizing (even if it requires multiple pages to print). This option will print your collage at exactly the dimensions that you selected when creating it.

o	If your layout is 6x6 inches, it will be printed at exactly 6x6 inches on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper.

o	If you layout is 36x24 inches, it will not fit on a single 8.5x11 sheet of paper.

▪	FotoFusion Extreme is capable of splitting printed output across multiple pages.

▪	FotoFusion Enhanced and FotoFusion Scrapbook Essentials can only print to exactly one sheet at a time.

Note that the options for Full Bleed and Crop are only available when printing at 1:1 (because these options are only relevant when printing precisely-measured output, and the 'fit' option resizes the image to fit the page).

Full Bleed: If you have created a canvas with a bleed area, then turning on the "Add Full Bleed Region " option will print that region.
Crop Lines: If you have created a canvas with a bleed area, then turning on the "Draw Crop Lines" option will print crop marks where the canvas ends and the bleed area starts.

How to Print
You can choose to print centered on the printed page.
You can also choose to match the orientation of the page. For example, if you have a 'landscape' layout (say, 20x10 inches) and you want to print it scaled to fit an 8.5x11 inch page, then you might want to print it with the 20" width along the 8.5" axis of the (portrait orientation) page... or have the orientations match, so that the 20" width has been rotated to print along the 11" axis of the page.

Cropping
There are two options for cropping:

•	Include frames outside the canvas: If you have frames that extend past the edges of the canvas, this option will expand the canvas to include those frames.

•	A typical use is to correct for rotated frames in a jumbled collage - with this option set, those frames will not be cut off.

Note that this option will change the dimensions of your printed canvas slightly if you are printing 1:1.

•	Crop to canvas edges: With this option set, your canvas will be printed exactly to the edge of the canvas and any frames that hang over that edge will be cropped.

Color Profile
The 'Use printer color profile' option -- available in ENHANCED and EXTREME -- tells FotoFusion to respect the color profile currently configured for the selected printer. Use the Windows printer configuration dialog (Setup...) to select a profile. If this option is not selected, FotoFusion will ignore the printer's color profile and process the collage directly to the printer.

Paper Type
This option will configure your printing options to rotate your page (based on its designation as a left-side or right-side page) and provide the appropriate diagram to orient your paper in your printer.

Overlay Image Info
This checkbox will turn on the options set in the Overlay Image Info settings option in under the Tools >> Canvas Menu list. Your images will include labels to include file name, frame number or other exif information. This can serve the dual purpose of watermarking your proofs and providing a communication tool with your client.
