Using the Select Pages To Print Dialog

When print output is previewed, clicking the Print Selected button displays the Select Pages To Print dialog.

For details about previewing print output, see "Previewing Print Output", in the previous subsection. See also the Printer class printPreviewAllowSelect property, for details about controlling the display of the Print Selected button.

The Select Pages To Print dialog enables the user to select the printing of the current page, all pages, selected pages, or a range of pages of a print document-previewed in the JADE development environment or in a JADE application.

To specify print criteria

  1. To print selected pages, perform one of the following actions.

    • Select the page or pages that you want to print in the Pages Available list box and then click the > button to copy the selected pages to the Pages Selected list box. (Use the Ctrl or Shift key to make or extend multiple selections.)

      The selected pages are then displayed in the Pages Selected list box and are highlighted in the Pages Available list box.

    • Specify the required page numbers in the Selected Pages text box and then click the Selected Pages option button to confirm the selection. Specific page numbers or a range of pages can be specified, separated by a comma; for example, 2,3, 8-10.

  2. Select the All Pages option button to print all pages of the previewed document or the Current Page option button to print only the page currently displayed in the preview window.

  3. In the Copies text box, specify the number of copies of the selected pages that are required. (By default, one copy only is printed.)

  4. Click the OK button.

The selected pages are then output to the printer. Alternatively, click the Cancel button to abandon your selections.
