Print Preview

The „Preview“ button opens a dialog showing a full-screen display of the diagram/graphics or the report, depending on whether Print Report (see Printing Reports) or Print Graphics (see Print Graphics) was selected. In order to obtain a realistic print preview all printing parameters – printer, paper size, page layout, page margins etc. – have to be specified.

Button Copy

Copies the print preview in the Windows clipboard as Metafile or Bitmap for further use in a third-party software program, e.g., like a word processor or a graphics software.

Saving the Report

The actually displayed page can be saved both in Metafile format (file extension *.emf) and in several bitmap formats, or both simultaneously. The following bitmap formats are available:

  • Bitmap files (* .bmp)
  • JPEG files (* .jpg)
  • CMP files (* .cmp)
  • PNG files (* .png)
  • TIFF files (* .tif)

For bitmap format a resolution can be entered.

Button Zoom

This button serves to switch from full-screen to an actual-size preview and back. To zoom in on a particular area of the print preview, click the desired location once. The next mouse click restores the initial situation.

Button Print

The print command may also be started from the print preview window by clicking the „Print“ button.
