Are you in need of printing your Google Docs at a FedEx store? It's easier than you might think. Follow this step-by-step guide to simplify your printing process.
Before we dive into the steps, make sure you've closed any unsaved changes in your Google Doc. It's also a good idea to ensure your document is printer-friendly by adjusting margins and line spacing.
Preparing Your Google Doc for Printing
First, let's prepare your Google Doc for printing.
1. **Adjust Page Setup**: Click on 'File' in the menu, then 'Page setup'. From here, you can adjust margins, page size, and orientation.
Optimize Document Layout
Google Docs allows you to customize your document's layout to suit your printing needs.
2. **Choose Layout**: In the 'Page setup' window, under 'Layout', you can choose between several layouts. 'Portrait' is suitable for most documents, while 'Landscape' works better with wide images or tables.
Save as PDF (Optional but Recommended)
Converting your Google Doc to a PDF before printing can help maintain your document's formatting and reduce any potential printing errors.
3. **Convert to PDF**: Click on 'File', then 'Print', and select 'Save as PDF'. This will give you a PDF version of your Google Doc, ready for printing.
Printing at FedEx Store
Now that your Google Doc is ready, let's head to the FedEx store for printing.
4. **Access the Print Dialog Box**: While in your PDF document, click on 'File', then 'Print'. Select the FedEx store as your printer. You can find it under 'Local printers and networks' or by adding it manually.
Select Paper Size and Quantity
FedEx stores offer multiple paper sizes and print quantities to accommodate your needs.
5. **Choose Paper Size**: In the 'Print quality' tab, select your desired paper size. Standard paper sizes include Letter (8.5 x 11 inches), Legal (8.5 x 14 inches), and Tabloid (11 x 17 inches).
Pay for Your Print Job
Once your print job is set up, it's time to pay and collect your documents.
6. **Proceed to Payment Counter**: Approach the payment counter with your print job reference number. FedEx will charge you based on the number of pages and paper size selected.
Congratulations! You've successfully printed your Google Doc at a FedEx store. Regularly backing up your important documents to Google Drive ensures that they're always accessible for printing, sharing, or collaborating. Happy printing!
