To print something from Safari on your Mac, follow these steps:
1. Open the Safari app on your Mac.
2. Navigate to the webpage or content you want to print.
3. Once you’re on the desired page, go to the top menu bar and click on “File.”
4. From the drop-down menu, select “Print.” A Print dialog box will appear.
5. In the Print dialog box, you will see a preview of the page to be printed on the right side.
6. Look for the options pop-up menu, which is located in the separator bar at the top of the Print dialog box. If you don’t see it, click on “Show Details” at the bottom of the Print dialog box.
7. Click on the options pop-up menu and choose “Safari” from the available options. This ensures that the webpage printing options specific to Safari are displayed.
8. Now, you can set various printing options according to your preferences. Let’s explore some of the options you can adjust:
– Orientation: Choose between portrait (vertical) or landscape (horizontal) orientation for the printed page.
– Scale: Adjust the size of the content to be printed. You can choose to fit the content on a single page or specify a custom scale percentage.
– Paper Size: Select the appropriate paper size for printing. The default option is usually “Letter,” but you can choose from various other sizes like A4, Legal, etc.
– Headers and Footers: Decide whether you want to include headers and footers on the printed page. Headers typically contain the webpage title, URL, and date, while footers may include page numbers.
– Margins: Set the margin size for the printed page. You can choose predefined margin sizes or specify custom margins.
– Print Backgrounds: Determine whether you want to print background colors and images on the webpage.
– Print Selection Only: If you only want to print a specific portion of the webpage, select this option and then highlight the desired content on the preview.
– Two-Sided: If you have a printer capable of duplex printing (printing on both sides of the paper), you can choose to print on both sides or just one side.
9. Once you have adjusted the printing options to your liking, review the preview on the right side of the Print dialog box to ensure everything appears as intended.
10. If everything looks good, click on the “Print” button at the bottom of the Print dialog box to start printing. Alternatively, you can also save the webpage as a PDF by clicking the “PDF” drop-down menu in the bottom-left corner and selecting “Save as PDF.”
Remember, these printing options may vary depending on your printer model and the version of Safari you are using. It’s always a good idea to double-check your printer settings and preview before proceeding with the print job.
