00:00:11.410 --> 00:00:15.530
PowerPoint presentations are designed to be
presented to an audience, but sometimes you

00:00:15.530 --> 00:00:17.430
need to print them too.

00:00:17.430 --> 00:00:21.090
That's why it's important to understand the
basics of printing, and also the options that

00:00:21.090 --> 00:00:22.330
are unique to PowerPoint.

00:00:22.330 --> 00:00:29.039
To get started, go ahead and navigate to the
backstage view… then click Print in the

00:00:29.039 --> 00:00:31.210
left pane.

00:00:31.210 --> 00:00:35.250
Here you'll find everything you need to print
your presentation, including a preview, and

00:00:35.250 --> 00:00:37.260
a place to adjust your settings.

00:00:37.260 --> 00:00:41.890
Now, you could just enter the number of copies
you want, and click the Print button right

00:00:41.890 --> 00:00:43.050
away.

00:00:43.050 --> 00:00:48.320
But before we do that, why don't we pause
and take a look at some of the options below?

00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:52.239
If you're connected to more than one printer,
for example, you can use the menu here to

00:00:52.239 --> 00:00:55.020
choose the one you want.

00:00:55.020 --> 00:00:59.110
You can also enter a custom slide range if
you're working with a large presentation,

00:00:59.110 --> 00:01:01.520
and you only want to print part of it.

00:01:01.520 --> 00:01:06.090
Otherwise, Print All (the default) will work
just fine.

00:01:06.090 --> 00:01:09.790
Next up is Print Layout, where you can decide
how your slides are going to be arranged on

00:01:09.790 --> 00:01:11.610
the printed page.

00:01:11.610 --> 00:01:16.429
Let's take a closer look at what some of these
options mean.

00:01:16.429 --> 00:01:18.800
Full Page Slides is the default.

00:01:18.800 --> 00:01:22.430
As you can see from the preview to the right,
this will print each of your slides on its

00:01:22.430 --> 00:01:24.720
own separate page.

00:01:24.720 --> 00:01:30.039
If we click Notes Pages, on the other hand…
the printout will include any notes that you've

00:01:30.039 --> 00:01:31.039
added.

00:01:31.039 --> 00:01:36.360
This option can be useful if you plan to actually
use your notes while you're presenting.

00:01:36.360 --> 00:01:40.680
Going back to the menu, the next option is
called Outline.

00:01:40.680 --> 00:01:44.720
This one is unique, because it prints just
the text on your slides, instead of the slides

00:01:44.720 --> 00:01:45.720
themselves.

00:01:45.720 --> 00:01:51.830
Some presenters like to use this as a guide
to help them remember the flow of the presentation.

00:01:51.830 --> 00:01:56.850
Finally, we have a wide variety of handouts
to choose from.

00:01:56.850 --> 00:02:00.660
These work really well if you want to give
your audience a hard copy of the presentation.

00:02:00.660 --> 00:02:05.720
I like the layout that has 3 slides… because
it includes a space for people to write their

00:02:05.720 --> 00:02:08.530
own notes and comments.

00:02:08.530 --> 00:02:12.380
One of the last things I'm going to do is
switch from full-color to grayscale, which

00:02:12.380 --> 00:02:16.140
can really save on printer ink.

00:02:16.140 --> 00:02:21.440
When you're ready, go ahead and click the
Print button at the very top of the pane.

00:02:21.440 --> 00:02:24.450
Now you just have to wait for your presentation
to finish printing.
