Reverse order of outward pages at the bottom of the section instructs Dorico Elements, when
activated, to output the rst set of pages in the opposite order when printing booklets using
manual duplexing. This is necessary for some printers so that you do not have to reverse sort the
pages manually before returning them to the printer to print the other sides.

Page sizes and paper sizes
In Dorico Elements, page sizes and paper sizes use different settings. This means that you can
print layouts with any page size onto paper with a different paper size.
For each layout in your project, you can dene a page size on the Page Setup page in Setup >
Layout Options. This means that you dene the dimensions of the layout. For printing your
layout, you must usually choose a paper size that is provided by the printer that you are using.
Normally, the layout's page size and the printed paper size match. However, if you dene a
layout with an unusual page size that is not supported by your printer, such as 10" x 13", one of
the standard page sizes for instrumental parts, you may have to print the layout onto a different
paper size. You can change the paper size in the
Page Setup section of the Print Options panel
according to your needs. As long as your printer supports suciently large paper for your page
size settings, and they match a standard paper size, your dimensions are included in the menu.
Changing the paper size has no effect on your layout's page size, and does not, therefore, affect
the way the music is laid out.
If you do not select a specic paper size, Dorico Elements automatically chooses a paper size that
is based on your computer's locale settings. For example, if these are set to a European country,
an international ISO standard might be used, such as A4. If they are set to a North American
country, one of their typical standards might be used, such as US Letter.
If you have dened a page size for your layout that is larger than a typical standard, Dorico
Elements automatically chooses the next larger paper size, provided that your printer supports
this. For example, if the layout's page size is larger than A4/US Letter, A3/Tabloid is used.
If you print to a different paper size than the layout's page size, Dorico Elements automatically
scales the image to t the paper. You can change this setting by specifying a custom scale factor
in the Page Setup section.
