Print in Microsoft Edge

Microsoft Edge offers a seamless browsing experience and comes equipped with a variety of tools and features. One such essential feature is the ability to print web pages directly from the browser. In this article, we will explore the various aspects of printing in Microsoft Edge.

To address printing issues in Microsoft Edge, refer to Troubleshoot printing issues in Microsoft Edge.

Printing in Microsoft Edge is a straightforward process and can be done in multiple ways.

• Using Keyboard shortcut: Press Ctrl + P on Windows or Command + P on Mac to open the print dialog.
• Menu option: Click on the three horizontal dots in the top-right corner of the browser to open the menu. Select Print from the dropdown menu.
• Right-Click Menu: Right-click anywhere on the webpage and select Print from the context menu.

Once you've accessed the print dialog, you'll be presented with a range of options to customize your print job.

Choose the printer you want to use: Choose the printer you want to use. If you have multiple printers installed, select the one that suits your needs.

Choose the orientation of the printout: Adjust the Layout settings based on your preference such as Portrait or Landscape orientation.

Choose the number of copies you wish to print: Navigate to Copies and provide the number of copies you wish to print.

Choose the color of your printout: Navigate to Color and select the dropdown as Color or Black and White as per your need.

Choose the paper size: Under More settings, choose the Paper size based on your need:

• Letter - 8.5 x 11 inches
• Tabloid -11 x 17 inches
• Legal - 8.5 x 14 inches
• Executive - 7.25 x 10.5 inches
• A3 - 11.69 x 16.54 inches
• A4 - 8.3 x 11.7 inches
• B4 (JIS) - 9.8 x 13.9 inches
• B5 (JIS) - 6.9 x 9.8 inches
• Envelope #10 - 4.125 x 9.5 inches
• Envelope Monarch - 3.875 x 7.5 inches

Choose number of pages to print per sheet: Printing multiple pages on a single sheet of paper is a useful technique to save paper, reduce printing costs, and create compact versions of your documents. The number of pages that can be printed on a single sheet depends on the capabilities of your printer and the printing options you choose (Example: 1, 2, 4, 6, 9 or 16 pages per sheet). Under More settings, choose Pages per sheet as per your need.

Choose the quality of the print: DPI (dots per inch) is a measure of printing resolution. Under More settings, navigate to Quality and choose the quality based on your need:

• 600 DPI: This is a standard resolution for many printing purposes. It provides good quality for most text documents and images. It's commonly used for everyday printing tasks.
• 1200 DPI: This is a higher resolution and generally produces sharper and more detailed prints. It is often used for tasks where high-quality output is crucial, such as professional graphics, detailed images, or photographs.

Additionally, the type of printer and the quality of paper used can also impact the final print quality. It's a good idea to consider the capabilities of your printer and the intended purpose of the printed material when choosing a DPI setting.

Specify which pages to print. You can choose to print all pages, a range of pages, or even select specific pages. Select an appropriate option under Pages:

• All: This will print all pages.
• Odd pages only: This will print only odd numbered pages such as 1, 3, 5 and so on.
• Even pages only: This will print only even numbered pages such as 2, 4, 6 and so on.
• Custom: You'll see a checkbox where you can enter the range of pages such as 1-5, or even select specific pages separated by comma such as 3, 6, 8 and so on.

Under More settings, scroll down to Margins and select an option under it as per your need.

• Default: This option will leave 1-inch margins on all sides.
• None: This option eliminates margins on all sides.
• Minimum: Many printers have a minimum margin requirement of around 0.25 inches (6.35 mm) on all sides. However, this can vary, and some printers may allow for smaller margins.
• Custom: If you choose custom, you have to manually enter the Top, Bottom, Left and Right margins. You can review how those margins look using the Preview button before sending it to the printer.

Scale to print is a feature that allows you to adjust the size of a document to fit the size of the paper being printed. Choose an option as per your need:

• Fit to printable area: This option will automatically adjust the size of the content to fit within the printable area of the paper.
• Actual size: This option prints the document in its original size without any scaling.
• Custom: Choosing a value allows you to manually specify the scaling factor for printing. For example, if you set the scaling to 50%, the document will be printed at half its original size. If you set it to 200%, the document will be printed at double its original size. This option provides flexibility for resizing the document according to your preferences.

Caution: It's recommended to preview the printout or use test prints to ensure that the scaled output meets your expectations before printing a large batch.
