Pleased with what we've created, we close the Template Editor and look for the "Print" button:

PRINT_BUTTONS

### Print Settings

The _print settings_ button opens a dialogue with some useful options.

* **Print Which Components?** Standard is to print all components, but this can be changed to only one or several selected components.
* **Layout Mode**. The _auto layout_ option prints the components to a pdf matching given paper type. There are a number of extra options if auto layout is selected (described below). The _Tabletop Simulator_ option provides a pdf with format suitable for creating decks in [Tabletop Simulator](https://store.steampowered.com/app/286160/Tabletop_Simulator/). The _component per page_ option prints one component on each page with no margins.

Most options in the _auto layout_ settings are self-explaning, but some clarifications can be found below.

* **Enable spacing?** If checked, there will be approximately 2 mm space between all printed components. (The spacing cannot be adjusted.)
* **Merge components?** If checked, there will not automatically be a page break for new component types. Instead, if the new component has the same dimensions as the last, it will continue on the same page.

Note that the components will be top-left aligned on the generated pages.
