The Print Options Dialog has two tabs:
Page Layout
This tab sheet contains options for how the diagram will appear on the printed page. It presents the following controls:
Margins
Specify the horizontal and vertical margins in either inches or centimeters.
Scaling
Set this option to Proportional to print the oneline diagram or strip chart such that the screen’s aspect ratio is maintained. Set this option to Fit to Page to force the printout to take up all available space on the page in both horizontal and vertical directions, or DPI to specify a dots per inch scaling.
Draw Border
Places a border to be drawn around the oneline diagram or strip chart.
Print Title Bar
Check this box to print a title bar at the bottom of the diagram. Checking this box displays a number of options that allow you to specify various items to include in the title bar. If you don’t want to include certain items on the plot, simply leave those fields blank.
The title bar is split horizontally into three sections. If you specify values for all requested items, they will be arranged in the title bar as follows:
Company | Description Line 1 | Date
Department | Description Line 2 | Drawing #
Author | Description Line 3 | Title
Multi-Page
This tab allows the oneline diagram to be "divided" into a specified number of sections for printing the oneline to several pages. A multi-page oneline can be useful for including "close-up" views of areas of a diagram in a report, or the multiple pages can be cut and combined to form a larger printed oneline if a plotter is not available. The Multi-Page tab presents the following controls:
Grid Size
Choose this value to subdivide the oneline into an N by N grid. You can then choose which sections of the oneline to print based on the grid overlay. The maximum size is 10 x 10.
Choosing What to Print
A low resolution picture of your oneline is shown on the Multi-Page tab. Gridlines are drawn over the diagram to show where the oneline has been subdivided based on the Grid Size chosen.
To remove a grid section from the printout, click on the oneline image in the corresponding section of the grid (Please note that the grid size should be more than 1 to select a grid section). The selected section of the grid will become dark to indicate you wish to prevent the section from printing.
To add a grid section back into the print job, click on a darkened section of the grid to allow that section of the oneline to be printed.
The number of pages you have chosen to print will be shown on the dialog. When printing out a multi-page oneline with a title bar, the page number will appear on the title bar in the form "Column Letter"-"Row Number". For example, if the Grid Size is 4, the pages are numbered A-1 through D-4.
Click Print to send the document to the printer, or Cancel to abort the print. Click Setup to view the default Windows printer dialog, which will allow you to specify whether to print the figure in portrait or landscape modes and to set various printer-specific properties.
