Preparing the Printout
Specifying the Printout

Before you can print your data, define the printer to be used. In addition, define the headers and footers, margins, etc. in the Print dialog box and the Page Setup dialog box. Select Print Setup and Page Setup on the File menu.

The Print Setup and Page Setup settings are stored separately for each worksheet in a Report Definition file (Integration, Calibration, Peak Analysis, Summary, etc.). Therefore, select the settings for each worksheet separately.

• Select Print Setup on the File menu to determine the printer, the paper size, and the format (portrait or landscape). After selecting these settings, a message box appears. Determine whether these settings will be used only for the current worksheet or for all worksheets of the Printer Layout of the current Report Definition File (RDF).

   Tip:

  The Print Setup settings selected here apply only to the report definition file of the current sequence. They do not affect the default settings for Windows. On the other hand, changing the default printer, paper size, and format in Windows does not affect the settings specified here.

• Select Page Setup on the File menu to determine the appearance of the headers and footers, the margins, the alignment, etc. You can also set grid lines, determine whether column and/or row headers are displayed, and whether the printout is in black and white or in color. For more information, refer to How to …: Preparing the Printout  Notes on the Page Setup.

   Tip:

  The Page Setup menu is only available if the Layout Mode is enabled.
