• If you are printing to the "Any Colour Printer on Campus" you will want to select the "Coated FOGRA39 (ISO 12647-2:2004)" in order to get the best colours from the printer.
• * If you are printing to the "Any BW Printer on Campus" you will want to select the "Gray Gamma 2.2".
• Click the OK button located at the bottom-right of the window.

Step 4: Select Page Setup options

• You are now in the main Acrobat window.
• From the main Acrobat “Print” window, click Page Setup... located at the bottom-left of the window.
• In the Page Setup window, start by verifying that the correct printer is displayed in the Format For drop-down list. If not, select the printer you want.
• In the Paper Size drop-down list, you will have the paper sizes that are available from the printer you chose to print to. Choose one of these paper sizes to print on.

• Once the Page Setup window has been properly set up, click OK to return to the Print window.

Step 5: Select final options and preview

• In the Print window, make sure the printer you want to print to is selected.
• In Orientation, choose Auto portrait/landscape.
• Double check that the page size displayed is the paper size you want to print to.
• If your pages are not a standard US page size, it is safest to select "Shrink oversized pages".
• Examine the preview window to ensure that it is in the correct orientation and that your page is properly displayed in it.
• If you have a multi-page document and want to print single-sided, make sure that “Print on both sides of paper” is unchecked. If you want to print on both sides of the paper, make sure that “Print on both sides of paper” is checked and you choose the correct flip direction.
• In “Pages to Print”, if there is only one page in the document, “All” will be selected. If there are multiple pages in the document, you will have to choose if you want to print “All” pages or only specific pages.
• You can choose to print multiple copies of your document but it is highly recommended that you print a single copy first and proof it for errors before paying for multiple copies.

Step 6: Print

• Follow the print release sequence as shown here.

Step 1: Review your file

• Make sure there are “No errors.” If you have missing fonts, the printer will either not print your file or convert the missing fonts to a default system font like Times New Roman and will re-flow your text blocks.
• Go to File and Document Setup to review your document elements
• In Document Setup, check the number of pages in your document to make sure it will work for your printing intent.
• Check the page size of your document in inches and determine if you will have to scale it to fit your intended paper size.
• Is your document set up as portrait or landscape?
• Did you set up the content in any of your pages to bleed, or does every page have a white margin of at least .25 inches? If you are bleeding content on any of the pages in your document, did you set up your Bleed settings for .125” and do the components that bleed go out to the bleed margin?
• Once you have re-familiarized yourself with your document setup, click OK to return to the main window.

• Select General from the list on the left in the Print window.
• From the Printer drop-down list, choose the laser printer that you want to print with.
• Note! Each printer can only print to the size of paper that has been preloaded in it; therefore, be familiar with the paper sizes loaded in each laser printer.
• In Copies, even if you want to print multiple copies of your file, it is recommended that you print only one copy first so that you can have a printed copy to proof before committing to multiple copies.
• In Pages, set up whether you are printing All the pages in your document or a select number of pages.
• You must select whether you are printing the pages from your document as a Page (one page on aside of a piece of paper) or as Spreads (two pages side by side on one side of a piece of paper)

• In the Paper Size pull-down list, only the papers available in the printer you are choosing to print with will be displayed. Pick the paper size that you want to print on.
• Note! If the size you want to print to is not available, you will have to choose a different printer or scale your document to fit the available paper size.
• If you are printing Pages (one page per side of a single sheet of paper), select either portrait or landscape orientation. If you created your document in portrait orientation and want to print Spreads (two pages side by side per side of a single sheet of paper), select the landscape orientation.

Step 4: Select print size

• You are now in the Print window.
• Select Setup from the list on the left in the Print window.

If your document pages are larger than the available paper size or the document page size is the same as the paper size, but you have bleed, choose Scale To Fit.
• Unless you have a good reason to select one of the other choices, always choose Centred as the method of printing your document on paper.

Step 5: Set up Marks + Bleed

• Select Marks and Bleed from the list on the left in the Print\ window.
• If your document pages are smaller or the same size as the printer paper but you set up your document with bleed, select Crop Marks and make sure Offset is set to 0.0833 inches. If your document page size is the same size as the printer paper and you have white margins on all the pages, do not select any of the Marks options.
• If you set a bleed value in Document Setup when you created your document originally, select Use Document Bleed Settings. If you did not set up a bleed value in Document Setup when you created your document originally but you did design your document with proper bleeding, choosingUse Document Bleed Settings will have no effect, you should instead deselect Use Document BleedSettings and enter the bleed value of .125 inches manually for all for sides.
