Checklist
- Wrong scaling: confirm A4 in Page Setup and choose Actual size, not Fit to page;
- Margins lost: uncheck "ignore print area";
- Blank pages: extra paragraphs or section breaks at the end — show formatting marks and delete them;
- Duplex order: select long-edge binding in the printer properties;
- Sheet cut off: set a print area, or use Fit sheet on one page.
Saving paper
Always use Print Preview to confirm pagination; draft with two pages per sheet, duplex and greyscale.
