the last page of the document.
- Click the Collate pages option icon if, when printing more than one
copy of multi-page documents, you want each complete set of pages printing
separately.

box will appear after each page is printed where you can click Continue
or Abandon.

Draft printing
You can print a document or part of a document as an unformatted draft.

to select the line length, and combination of Carriage return and Line feed
characters for terminating lines and paragraphs.
- Choose Text or Text Selection from the Save menu.

Pamphlet printing
Pamphlet printing allows a document to be printed with two pages side by side
on a single sheet of paper. Folding the sheet of paper in half between the two
pages creates a pamphlet, or a booklet if several pages are folded together.
For example, the pages of a seven page document will be printed as:

When Pamphlet is chosen in the Print Options dialogue, EasiWriter
splits the current paper vertically into left and right halves and treats these
as individual left and right hand pages within the document. For example, they
can have their own headers and footers, and margins can be set (reflected if
required).
- Choose Print Options... from the Misc menu.
- Select Pamphlet (2 pages/sheet).
If necessary EasiWriter will automatically adjust the scale of the document
to fit the paper.
- Click Update to confirm the choice.
Printing a pamphlet or booklet
There are two ways of printing pamphlets:
- Print one sheet, turn it over then print the back then repeat for
subsequent sheets, or

all the paper backs.
Method one
- Click on the Print button and select Pause between pages
(make sure Print in background is not selected).
- Click Print.
- Click Continue or OK to the first 'pause' warning.
- When the second warning is shown after printing the paper front, remove the
paper and reinsert it into the printer's paper feed, taking care that it is
correctly orientated.
Method two
- Click on the Print button and select Paper fronts.
- Click Print.
- When all the paper fronts have been printed, reload the paper into the
printer, again taking care that it is correctly orientated.
- Click the Paper backs radio button, and click Print to print
the paper backs.
