Printing
You print a single document or multiple documents at the same time. You can also print views (lists of documents in an HCL Notes® application) and the framesets found in both Notes and the Web.
- Printing documents
  You can print a document while it's open, or select document(s) in a view and print them.
  - Printing to an external file
    You can print document(s) to an external file, such as an ASCII or PostScript® file. The documents are not actually printed but saved in a file that you specify on your hard disk drive. In Windows®, you must set up a PostScript printer before printing to a file.
  - Previewing a print job
    You can preview a document's page layout before printing. You can also view page breaks. Previewing is useful because page breaks, word wrapping, margins, and other features can differ in print from their appearance on screen.
  - Printing a file attachment
    Print an attachment from your browser.
  - Printing framesets
    You can print the framesets that display on your screen when you view an HCL Notes® application, as well as framesets that you see when you view Notes applications through the Notes browser.
  - Setting up the page for printing
    Use the Page Setup dialog box to set page margins, select a paper source, set page orientation, and more (availability of some options described below may depend on the printer and operating system you are using).
  - Selecting a different printer
    From the Print dialog box (File > Print from the menu), you can select the printer where you want to send your print job.
- Printing views
  In HCL Notes® applications, views are essentially lists of documents; you can print all the text that appears in a list.
- Creating headers and footers for printing
  You may want to add a header or footer to the pages of the HCL Notes® documents you print. For example, you use headers or footers to add page numbers to printed documents.

Printing framesets

You can print the framesets that display on your screen when you view an HCL Notes® application, as well as framesets that you see when you view Notes® applications through the Notes® browser.

To print a frameset in Notes, or in the Notes web browser

Procedure

Open an application (such as a discussion application) which opens to a frameset.
If you are in Notes® (instead of the Notes® web browser), click in the blank area of the left frame.
From the menu, click File > Print.

Note: You should see the Print Document dialog box. If instead you see the Print View dialog box, click Cancel and try steps 2 and 3 again until you have selected the frameset and the Print Document dialog box appears.
Select one of the following in the Print Frames section:
- As laid out on screen - prints the frameset as it appears on your screen.
- Each frame individually - prints each frame separately on a new page.
- Selected frame only - prints only the frame.
Optional: In the Print Range section, if you do not want to print all the pages (frames) in a document (the default) specify a range of pages, or choose Current Page.

Tip: Click the Preview button to see how the frames will print.
Optional: In the Print Quality section, make any of the following selections:
- To print faster (with reduced print quality), select Print as draft.
- To print pictures at their original size, select Scale all graphics to 100%.
- If you plan to preview the print job and want to do so in color, select Preview in color.
Optional: In the Copies section, you can:
- Enter the number of copies of the view you want printed (default is one copy).
- Select or deselect Collate copies.
Click OK.
