Other options in the Print dialog box
Most presentations are designed to be presented in color, but slides and handouts are typically printed in black and white or shades of gray, also known as grayscale. When you print in grayscale, color images are printed in variations of gray tones between black and white.
When you print your slides, PowerPoint sets the colors in your presentation to match the selected printer's capabilities.
You can size the slides to fit different paper sizes, including letter and legal, or you can specify a custom size.
| Option | Description |
| Color/grayscale: Color | If you print to a color printer, this option prints in color. If you print to a black-and-white printer, this option prints in grayscale. |
| Color/grayscale: Grayscale | This option prints images that contain variations of gray tones between black and white. Background fills are printed as white, so that the text will be more legible. (Sometimes grayscale appears the same as Pure Black and White.) |
| Color/grayscale: Pure Black and White | This option prints the handout with no gray fills. |
| High quality | This option increases resolution, blends transparent graphics, and prints soft shadows in your print job. When you print in high quality, it may take longer for your presentation to print. To prevent a possible decrease in your computer's performance, clear the High quality check box after you finish printing. |
| Scale to fit paper | Select this option to print your slides on the paper that you selected for your printer. |
| Frame slides | Select this option to print a thin border around your slides. |
