The
"Print"
dialog box allows the user to choose from various printing parameters.
Screen shot: Print dialog box.
Upper portion of the dialog box:
The
"Print to..."
pulldown list
selects a printer
to print the HTML page. It chooses from those defined in the
configuration files
; the list contains an option called
"File"
, which, if selected, prints to a file chosen from the '
Print to a file...
' file selector.
The
"Print format"
section
selects the printout format
. The available formats are the following:
"Plain text"
is a
rough draft
printout.
"Formatted text"
is a final version printout (complete with text styles, bullets...).
"PostScript"
is a printout in
PostScript
® language.
The
"Font Family"
sectgion permet de
choisir la famille de polices
section chooses the font family to be used for a PostScript printing. This section is grey if the print format chosen is not
"PostScript"
.
The
"Page Format"
section
chooses the page dimensions
to be printed. This section is grey if the print format chosen is not
"PostScript"
. It contains, from left to right:
a pulldown list showing standard
page formats
. When the page dimensions are changed manually,
"other"
is the item selected from the list.
a text field to specify the
page width
. This value is expressed in centimeters and must be set between 1 and 300 centimeters.
a text field to specify the
page height
. This value is expressed in centimeters and must be set between 1 and 300 centimeters.
The
"Parameters"
section
activates/deactivates the parameters for PostScript printing
. This section is grey if the print format chosen is not
"PostScript"
. It is composed from top to bottom and left to right by:
The
"Header"
button allows the user to
include the headers and footers
when printing. The header contains the HTML page title on the left and the page number on the right. The footer contains the filename on the left and the time and date on the right.
The
"Footer"
button
includes footnotes
when printing. Activating this button creates footnotes for all of the hypertext links on a page and lists the names of the corresponding files at the bottom of the page.
The
"Without images"
button
suppresses graphics
when printing. If this button is activated the images are replaced by rectangles of corresponding size. Printing the graphics renders the data much larger and the printing time longer; printing without graphics quickly prints a draft of an HTML page.
The
"Color"
button
prints graphics in color
. Graphics printing is done in greytones by default, because the data's size in color is much larger than in greytones.
Lower portion of the dialog box:
"Ok"
launches the printing of the browser page
and closes the box. If
"file"
is the printer chosen, the '
Print to a file
' file selector will open.
"Cancel"
abandons the printing
and closes the box.
