Select it from the drop-down menu on the right side of the window (Step 1 listed
there).
4.
Choose your printer settings
.
On the right side of the Print window under Step 2 (Printer Settings), check to see
what Elements proposes for the type of paper and the print quality.
If you don't like its choices, click Change Settings. In the Change Settings window,
adjust the settings to your liking. The window includes a setting to change the paper
size, but you don't need to use it—you'll choose a size in the main Print window in
the next step. Depending on your printer, you may have additional options here, like
which paper tray you want the printer to use. When everything looks good, click OK
to close the Change Settings window.
5.
Select a paper size and orientation
.
Click the Select Paper Size menu (Step 3 in Elements' Print window) for a list of the
sizes available for your printer. What's in this list is determined by the printer you
chose in Step 1. If you have a printer that allows borderless printing, you should see
several sizes in the list with “(borderless)” after the size. Just choose the one you
want. If you know your printer can print borderless but you don't see any borderless
options, click the Page Setup button beneath the preview area and make any necessary
changes there. (Some printers that allow borderless printing require you to make cer-
tain choices in the the print quality or paper sections. You may not be able to print
borderless on plain paper, for instance, but only on premium photo paper.) To change
the page's orientation, click the icon that shows the orientation you want.
6.
Choose what kind of prints you want to make
.
In the Print window's Step 4 section, choose whether to make individual prints, a con-
tact sheet, or a picture package. In this example, you're making individual prints (one
photo per page), so choose that. (If you want to make a contact sheet or a picture
package, flip to
Printing Multiple Images (Windows)
.
)
7.
Select a print size and tell Elements whether to crop the image(s)
.
Choose an option from the aptly named Select Print Size menu (Step 5). If you don't
want any of the preset sizes, choose Actual Size or Custom. (If you choose the latter,
the More Options dialog box appears showing the Custom Print Size settings, which
are explained on
The Page Setup Dialog Box
.
Enter your choices, and then click OK.)
