Printing and Page Setup Options for Desktop Tools

You can print from all desktop tools except the Current Directory browser, but there are some differences in usage.

To print, select File -> Print from the tool. A standard Print dialog box for your platform opens. The Properties button in the Print dialog box is enabled for the Web and Help browsers and the Profiler, but is not enabled for the other desktop tools.

You can specify standard page setup options for your platform when you print from the Command History, Workspace browser, and Array Editor. Select File -> Page Setup. A standard page setup dialog box for your platform opens.

MATLAB provides special page setup options for printing from the Command Window and Editor/Debugger. The setup options are essentially the same for both tools, with minor variations. This section covers their use:

To specify page setup options, perform these steps:

  1. In the tool you want to print from, for example, the Command Window, select File -> Page Setup.
