Specifying page setup options for a layout

Each layout can have its own page setup assigned to it. This enables you to accommodate unique print settings for each layout. If some layouts use the same print settings, those layouts can be assigned the same page setup.

Assigning a page setup to a model or layout doesnt mean it will always print with the specified settings. All of the print settings specified for a page setup can be overridden at print time.

For more details, see Working with page setups.
