The "print" dialog box selects printing parameters before launching a printing. Printing is carried out on the active document and is executed solely in PostScript®.

Upper portion of the dialog box:

• The "Print to..." roll-down menu selects a printer from those defined in the configuration files to be used to print the current document. The list contains an option titled "File" which, if chosen, permits printing to a file. The filename will be chosen in the 'Printing to a file...' file selector after closing the current dialog box.
   
• The "Selection only" button prints the current selection which is either cells or chart frames.
   
• The "Whole document" button prints the entire spreadsheet. Activating this button automatically displays the first and last page numbers in the Page text fields.
   
• The two text fields, "Pages" and "To" select a set of page numbers to be printed. The number in the first field must be set between 1 and the number in the second field. The number in the second field must be set between the number in the first field and the actual last page number of the document. Changing one of these two values will affect the state of the "Whole document" button.
   
• The "Number of copies" text field specifies the number of copies of a document or part of a document to be printed.

• "Ok" confirms all printing parameters, closes the dialog box, and launches the printing. If the selected printer is File, the 'Printing to a file...' file selector will open to choose the target filename; printing will then follow.
   
• "Cancel" closes the dialog box without printing.
