Printing

The Chromeleon Printer Layout provides numerous options for the presentation of the results. Similar to a word processor, you can choose between printing the on-screen contents and printing based on defined templates.

Printing from the Browser

If you have selected one or several samples or sequences in the Browser, you can select Batch Report on the File menu to start the printout. Use the Batch Report dialog box to determine which Report Definition File (RDF) is used, which pages of the printer layout are printed, and for which sample type and channel the printout is performed. The single pages are created in the Printer Layout. (See Data Representation and Reprocessing  The Printer Layout for more information.)

 Note:

Click Setup in the Printer Layout to define the page format. (For more information, refer to  Changing the Page Format.)

Printing from an Online Batch

If several samples are processed in an automatic sample batch (Batch Processing), you can determine which pages of the Printer Layout are printed. Printing can start either immediately after a sample has been processed or after the entire sequence has been processed.

 Note:

The report template used for printing is stored with other settings (such as screen settings) in the Report Definition File (RDF).

Printing the Screen Contents

To print the contents of the active window, select the related Print command. Select Print Sequence to print the current sample list from the Browser, with either the corresponding PGM File or QNT File. If a PGM File is open, you can print the required views by selecting the Print command. In the same way, you can print the selected pages of a Quantification Method (QNT Method) from the QNT Editor by selecting Print QNT Method.
