When you connect your laptop to an external digital projector:

3. Printing Handouts for Students (हैंडआउट्स प्रिंट करना)

In seminars and computer institutes like MSK Institute, teachers distribute printed paper copies of presentation slides to students so they can take notes. These are called Handouts (हैंडआउट्स).

Handout Layout Options:

In the Print dialog box (Ctrl + P), under Print Content, select Handouts:

• 1 Slide per page: Large full-page slide prints.
• 3 Slides per page (Most Popular!): Prints 3 slide miniatures on the left side, with blank ruled lines on the right side for students to write handwritten notes!
• 6 or 9 Slides per page: Compact prints to save paper.
