numbers in a range by using a hyphen, and separate multiple pages

option is selected in Page Display Preferences, you can enter numbers
that match the numbering printed on the pages using roman numerals
or actual page numbers. For example, if the first page of a document
is numbered iii, you can enter iii or 1 to print that page. Selecting
Odd Pages Only or Even Pages Only affects which pages in a range print.
For example, in a range that includes 2, 7-10 with Even Pages Only
selected, only pages 2, 8, and 10 will print. </p>
