The print preview shows the same 24 seats as the layout above. The chart includes desk outlines and seat labels, but leaves out decorative room objects. Choose a paper size and orientation, then open the browser print dialog. Choose Save as PDF if it is available.

For your edited layout or a chart with names, use Print / Export in the editor after applying or cancelling the preview. A PDF is a printout; download a JSON backup from Backup to keep an editable copy. More about printing and PDF output.
