Title: To print a title at the top of the map, select the Title check box and type the title in the Title text box. You can enter multiple lines for the title by inserting "\n" where you want line breaks.

 

Legend: To print the legend with the map, select the Legend check box. If you chose to print the legend, note that the printed legend includes only visible layers. If the layer names are too long, they may be truncated.

 

Scale Bar: To print a bar showing the scale of the map, select the Scale Bar check box.

 

North Arrow:  To print a North arrow on the map, select the North Arrow check box. If the map uses arbitrary XY coordinates, this option is cleared by default but is still available.

Date and Time: To include the current date and time in the footer of the printed map, select the Date And Time check box.

 

Specify Scale: Please see Print - Map Scale for more on this.
