How to Set Print Area in Excel

In this tutorial, you will learn how to set print area in Excel.

If you routinely print a particular worksheet selection, you can specify a print region that only prints that selection. When you don’t want to print the full worksheet, you can define one or more cell ranges as a print region. Only the print area of a worksheet is printed when you define a print area. The print area can be expanded as needed by adding cells, and it can be cleared to print the full worksheet.
