Printing a map from MindManager is similar to printing in most other applications. You can print:
Topics print as they are displayed (expanded or collapsed). Topics hidden by a Filter do not print. Use the Print options to select the printer, print range, number of copies and scaling (multiple page) options. There are special options for printing large maps. The Page Setup options control the map's orientation, page margins, headers and footers, border and more. Print Preview lets you see how the printed map will look with the print and page setup options you've chosen. Buttons in each of these dialogs let you switch between the various option screens. |

Do one of the following:
To print the map immediately on the default printer, click Quick Print on the Quick Access Toolbar, or click File, Print, Quick Print. | Or | To adjust the Print options before you print,
click File, then click
Print to see the Print dialog. There, you can
specify the printer, print range, number of copies and scaling
options.

If a map is large, the print can become difficult to read if it is printed on a single letter-sized page. If you don't have access to a large-format printer, you can create a poster-sized version of your map by printing it on several pages, "billboard style".
Click the File tab, click Print , and then click Print to see the Print dialog.
Under Scaling
choose the number of pages and the arrangement you want to use to
print the map.

You can choose to print only a selected topic and its subtopics. This is the simplest way to print a single topic tree. If you want to print several topics, but not the entire map, you can filter out the other topics and then print the map.
Select the topic you want to print.
Click the File tab, click Print, and then click Print.
In the Print dialog, under Print Range, select Primary selected topic.
Click Preview if you want to verify what will be printed.
Click OK
to print the map.
Read Hint
You can print a single slide, a range of slides, or all slides. Each slide is printed on a separate page. The gray box on each slide indicates the area that will be printed.
Use Slides View to view the slide you want to print (If you want to print a single slide), or view any slide (if you want to print a range or all slides).
Do one
of the following:
In the Slides pane, Slides pull-down, click Print Slides. | Or | Click the File tab, click Print, and then click Print. |
In the Print dialog, under Print Range, select All Slides, Range, or Selected Slide.
Click Preview if you want to verify what will be printed.
Click OK to print the slide(s).
You can print an outline from Outline view.
Printing from Outline View offers the advantage of printing topics with varying levels of detail, and (like Word export) you can choose to print only the topics you select.
When MindManager prints a map displayed in Outline View, it prints just
what you see. This means that if a topic is collapsed, it's subtopics
are not printed. This allows you to print the outline with varying levels
of detail for individual topics. You can also choose to print only the
topics you have selected, or choose to print only the topics with specific
content.
Read Hint
If you only want to print certain topics, select them now. Expand or collapse topics (use the icons) to get the desired level of detail in the printed outline.
Click the File tab, click Print, and then click Print to see the Outline Print dialog. Options
Optional - Click Page Setup to choose margins and other settings for your printed outline. These settings are saved with the map, so the next time you print the same settings will be used.
Make your selections in the dialog and click Print.
You can quickly print the Notes for any single topic or print all the Notes on the map.
Do one of the following:
Right-click on the topic's Notes icon. |
Or | Click the File tab, and then click Print. |
Click either:
Quick Print Notes (sends the notes for the current topic directly to the default printer)
Print Notes to print the notes for
the selected topic or all topics (displays the Print dialog
so you can adjust the Print options).

If your map contains tasks, you can print them as a Gantt chart. You must display the Gantt chart to print it. If you only want to print certain tasks, select them in the Gantt chart.
Click the File tab, click Print, and then click Print Gantt Chart.
You can print the tasks selected in the Gantt chart, tasks that fall within a certain date range, or print all tasks.
You can configure the Page Setup options before you print or access these options from the Print or Print Preview dialogs.
The page setup options let you choose the following options.
the paper size to use
the orientation (portrait, landscape or automatic)
the page margins (units used are determined by your system settings)
whether to print the...
background image (turn this off to reduce printing time or to print a PDF file),
page separators (registration marks for multi-page maps),
page numbers (i.e. "Page 2 of 4" for multi-page maps)
or a border.
headers or footers with a choice of font and justification. Enter your own text or click the arrow to choose from a set of standard annotations such as the date and time, file name, etc. The Author information comes from the map's General Properties settings.
