How do I print a document?

To print a document or specific pages of a document go to File > Print:

The Print window may open with the Final Draft section collapsed.  Although a print job can be set up in this top section (which displays the operating system print settings), best practice is to use Final Draft's print settings. If the Final Draft section of the Print window is collapsed, click the arrow on the left to expand it: 

The Final Draft print settings are now displayed.  These -- not the operating system print settings -- should be used.

To choose a specific Print Rage:

1. Click the Pages or Scenes button to choose between printing pages or scenes (Pages is selected by default);
2. If only certain pages or scenes are to be printed, enter a page range or a scene range in the appropriate fields;

• To print a range of pages or scenes, click the Page or Scene button and enter the first page or scene number followed by a dash followed by the last page or scene number (e.g. 1-6);
• To print individual pages or scenes, enter the numbers separated by commas (e.g. 2,7,9);
• To print a range and individual pages or scenes in the same print job, combine the entries (e.g. 1-6, 8,11,12);

3. To print all pages, leave the Pages and Scenes boxes empty and leave the default setting (Odds and Evens) as the selection in the dropdown menu;

• To print only odd pages (1,3,5, etc.) choose this from the dropdown menu;
• To print only even pages (2,4,6, etc.) choose this from the dropdown menu.

Scan for Format Errors

Check this box to bring up the Format Assistant before pages are printed. The Format Assistant will ask if the script is to be examined for common formatting errors and fix them if desired, or bypass the error(s) and print the script as is. If any errors are found, they may be corrected before printing or the script can be printed without the errors corrected.

Keep Colors

Character Sides

If a character name is chosen from this dropdown menu, only pages that contain that character’s dialogue will be printed.  Default is No Character Sides.  Check the Character Name on Top of Page box to have that name printed at the top of each page.
