Microsoft Edge allows users to print a page directly from the browser. When you print a page from Microsoft Edge, you will be shown the print preview before the page is saved as a PDF. After you save the page as a PDF, you can easily print it. This article shows How to change print page settings in Microsoft Edge before you print it or save it as a PDF.
How to change print page settings in Microsoft Edge
To change the print page settings in Microsoft Edge, follow these instructions:
- Open Microsoft Edge.
- Open the web page you want to print.
- Select the desired printer from the drop-down list or leave the default option “Save as PDF”.
- Change the print settings in the left pane of the print preview window.
I have explained all these steps in detail below.
First, open Microsoft Edge and then open the web page you want to print in Microsoft Edge. Click on the three dots in the top right and select Press or press the Ctrl + P buttons.
The Print Preview window will open in Microsoft Edge. Now, in the left pane, you can change the page layout from portrait to landscape and vice versa. You can also select all or a specific number of pages you want to print, or select the pages in even and odd numbers.
Now click on the Additional settings Link to view more options for setting up the printed page. Here you can select the paper size, such as Letter, A0, A1, A2, A3, A4, etc. You can also change the scaling percentage. From the Margins drop-down menu you can select None or Minimum Margins. You can also enter the custom margins for your printed page or leave this option at the default value.
Continue in Options you can choose whether you want to print the page with headers and footers or without headers and footers. Select or clear the check box Background graphics Box according to your requirements.
When you are done, click the Save button to save your print page as a PDF. After saving it as a PDF, you can print it from any printer.
The above page setup options apply to the Save as PDF option in Microsoft Edge. You may get more page setup options when you select a default printer in Edge. For example, you can print the page in color or black and white by selecting the Microsoft Print to PDF option.
