In the opened window you can select the area you would like to print and set up printing parameters:

  • Paper format (A3, A4 or custom);

  • Margins;

  • Scale.

You can also add:

  • Title (can be edited, the default is the Web Map resource name);

  • North arrow;

  • Scale value;

The size and placement of the title, the legend and the map itself can be changed.
