The ibaPDA print setup dialog can be accessed in the File– Print settings… menu. The dialog also opens when printing a single view via the context menu of the View tab.

This dialog provides the usual printing options:

• printer selection and the possibility to open the printer specific options dialog (<Properties...> button)

• Number of copies

• Orientation

• Page size and printer tray

• Page margins

Some printing options are more specific to ibaPDA:

• Output

  • A header containing time stamp, title of the printed view and the current ibaPDA-version will be inserted on the page.

  • A frame will be printed around the view.

• Scale

  • Fit: the views to be printed are scaled to fit the print range without changing their aspect ratio.

  • Crop: the views to be printed are not scaled. The views are printed in screen size. The images are cropped to the print range if larger.

  • Stretch: the views to be printed fit the entire print area. The aspect ratio is not observed.

• Margins

  • The minimal values depend on the non-printable page area of the selected printer.

• Preview

  • Shows a schematic print preview. If the Fit scaling mode is selected, the view’s aspect ratio is considered square.
