Adjusting Page Setup for printing Apple IIe screens. The Apple IIe screen is

too wide to print the usual way on most printers. However, if your printer

can print sideways (all Apple printers can), you won't have any problem.

Follow these steps:

1. Choose the Page Setup command from the File menu.

The Page Setup dialog box opens, as shown in the next step.

2. Click the sideways orientation icon.

3. Click OK.

Your screen snapshots should now fit on a page.

Have a LaserWriter? If you have an Apple LaserWriter, you can fit the image

on a single sheet without printing sideways. Choose Page Setup from the File

menu and click the Options button to display more printing options. Then

click the Larger Print Area checkbox until an X appears and click the OK

button in each of the two dialog boxes.

Clipboard, follow these steps:

1. Open the Option Panel by pressing Control-Command-Esc.

2. Choose the Copy IIe Screen command from the Edit menu.

The snapshot is placed on your Clipboard. You can now paste the picture into

any Macintosh program that understands PICT files.

3. Click Continue to return to your Apple IIe work, or click Quit IIe to

return to the Macintosh environment.
