7.4 PRINTING PREFERENCES

The printing tab displays the dialog in Figure 7-9
and controls how colors should be printed and
the margins used when printing.

If your printer is not a color printer you may wish
to have ID-2000 always use monochrome
colors when printing. This has no effect on
what is displayed on your screen. Most printers
that are not capable of printing in color will use
a “dithering” process to simulate colors by print
various shades of gray. To eliminate these
shades of gray select “Always print using mono
color scheme”.

If your printer is capable of color and you wish
to have ID-2000 print plots in the colors exactly
as you have them displayed then select “Always
print using current colors”.

You can control the margin when printing plots
by entering values for the four margin fields.
Enter the margin in inches. If you are using 8-
1/2 X 11 paper and want a 1/2 inch margin all
around then you would enter 0.5 in each of the
fields.

NOTE: Do not enter 7.5 for the right margin
as this would mean you want 7.5 inches of
space on the right side.

7.5 FONTS PREFERENCES

There are many parts of a plot for which you
can specify what font is to be used. You can
also specify what font should be used for the
status bar at the bottom of the application
window. All of these fonts may be any font
available to Windows including all True Type
fonts. Figure 7-8 displays the Fonts
Preferences dialog.
