# Access first worksheet
worksheet = workbook.worksheets[0]

# Set print area to A1:D10
worksheet.page_setup.print_area = "A1:D10"

# Save the modified workbook
workbook.save("output_set_print_area.xlsx")

# Output image reference

# Clear print area
worksheet.page_setup.print_area = ""

# Save the modified workbook
workbook.save("output_clear_print_area.xlsx")

# Output image reference
<img src="2.png" width=60% />

from aspose.cells import Workbook

# Load the workbook
workbook = Workbook("input.xlsx")

# Access the desired worksheet
worksheet = workbook.worksheets[0]

# Set the print area – specify the range you want to print
worksheet.page_setup.print_area = "A1:D10"

# Save the workbook
workbook.save("set_print_area.pdf")

from aspose.cells import Workbook

# Load the workbook
workbook = Workbook("input.xlsx")

# Access the desired worksheet
