Formatting code in Netbeans to printable format

I am writing Java class file using NetBeans and I use ALT+SHIFT+F for auto formatting.However, This is not wrapping the code to be printable in single page.

How to change customize Formatting settings so that when i do auto formatting the code gets formatted as such it can be printable in single page?

There are a couple of different ways to handle this:

If you go to Tools -> Options , Select Editor at the top and the Formatting tab, select Java in the Language drop-down list and Wrapping in the Category drop-down list. There are many options that make the auto-formatting break more lines by switching (Never to either Always or If Long ) which would keep line lengths shorter but still not guarantee that a really long line doesn't extend off the page. It would probably have to break the syntax of Java in order to always be able to break those lines.

Another option would be to leave auto-formatting alone and just adjust the Print options. Select the text file. Go To File -> Print .... On the first dialog click Print Options. On that dialog click the Wrap Lines checkbox and/or change the zoom to print in fewer pages.
