By default, the size of the printed document is the one specified in the Paper size field as shown in Fig. 2. The model's scale will be reduced if necessary.
If necessary, the model can be printed out on several pages. For that, click Paginate Document, and manage the document layout in the Edit Pagination window (Fig. 4).

By default, the modeling sheet is divided between several pages; their maximum size depends on the selected format (Fig. 2). In the Edit pagination window, the pages are divided by a red dash line (Fig. 4). You can change the page size by moving the blue sliders of each page (Fig. 5).
