Sudoku Help - Print Options

Here's a page from the extensive help system for Sudoku Dragon. It is available as a help screen when running the program. To get the full picture Download our Sudoku Dragon and see the screen in its context.

We now offer an alternative product only available for download from Microsoft Store. This shares many features but not all of them. For documentation of the SudokuDragon for Store version see its separate help section.

When you print out a puzzle you can select what will be printed on the paper. You may not want the grid to be printed exactly as it is on the screen.

You can choose to use the same display theme for the grid on the print-out as on the screen, or you can choose a different one by just selecting it from the list (for example black/gray only). If you select a different display theme from the drop down list the different theme option will be automatically selected.

The print options give four choices: the display style for the print-out; the size of the printed grid; whether you want to print the information about possibilities for unallocated squares and whether you want the list of square allocations made so far. These options will be remembered for the next time you print and can be totally different to the options for viewing the grid.

You can choose the size of the grid on the printed page, this is expressed as the percentage of the available print area. In portrait page print mode (selected from File | Print Setup) 100% would give the puzzle grid the full printable paper width. The printed text remains the same size.

Use the Print Preview command on the File menu to see how the Sudoku puzzle will be printed out. You can use Print setup on the File menu to control the operation of the printer and change the paper orientation.
