To print an embedded chart as part of the data on the worksheet, you simply print the worksheet from the Print Settings screen in the Backstage view by pressing Ctrl+P. To print an embedded chart by itself without the supporting worksheet data, click the chart to select it before you press Ctrl+P to open the Print screen in the Backstage view. In the Print screen, the Print Selected Chart appears as the default selection in the very first drop-down list box under the Settings heading and a preview of the embedded chart appears in the Preview pane on the right.
To print a chart that’s on a separate chart sheet in the workbook file, activate the chart sheet by clicking its sheet tab and then press Ctrl+P to open the Print panel, where Print Active Sheet(s) appears in as the default selection for the Settings drop-down list box and the chart itself appears in the Preview pane on the right.
When you want to print an embedded chart alone — that is, without its sup- porting data or in its own chart sheet — you may want to select the print quality options on the Chart tab of the Page Setup dialog box (which you can open by clicking the Page Setup link in the Print screen in the Backstage view or by clicking the Dialog Box launcher on the Page Layout tab) before sending the chart to the printer. The Print Quality options on the Chart tab include the following:

✦ Print in Black and White: Select this check box to have your color printer print the chart in black and white.
