Preparing the Printout
Printing the Results of a Single Sample

You can print the results of single samples from either the Printer Layout or the on-screen report (integration plot).

For each printout, the Printer Layout pages saved in the Report Definition File (RDF) are used as a template. The results of a single sample or of a sequence are output in the defined way (see  Printing the Results of a Sequence or a Sample Batch). Please note that the Report Definition File and the worksheets define only the appearance of the printout, but not the contents.

Unless you have already specified the worksheets to be printed, specify them now:

In the Printer Layout

Select Batch Report Setup on the File menu to specify which worksheets shall be printed. The Batch Report Setup dialog box is opened:

Select the corresponding settings on the Print Sheets tab page. The available worksheets are listed in the Sheets field. Define which pages shall be printed and under which conditions. Click Conditions… to define the print conditions. For example, you can specify for which sample type a page shall be printed. For instance, it would be sensible to print a summary report only for the last sample of a sequence.

In the Report (Screen Report)

Select Print on the File menu to print the results of the currently open sample from the on-screen report:

On the Print dialog box, select the worksheet to be printed from the Using Sheet drop-down list. The worksheet is always printed with the on-screen results if they are part of the defined view. For example, the current Mass Spectrum is only printed if a mass spectrum is part of the selected worksheet.

 Tip:

In the Printer Layout, you can only select peak spectra but no retention time spectra. If you want to print a retention time spectrum, open the Report, select a spectrum on-screen, and then print a worksheet that includes the spectrum.
