Options

Colour Printer

Click Colour Printer, to print the graph in colour.

With Version 5, the default is on.

Line Graph Print Pen Width


This is the width of the pen used to print the lines on the line graph. Use a lightly larger width, such as 5, to see hard to read line colours on the graph.

Manual Graph Print Header

When a graph is printed, a header box will be displayed allowing the user to enter information that will be printed at the top of the line graph.
See Recorder Manual Print Header.

Print Grid

If clicked the graph prints with a grid. 

This setting is new to version 5. The default setting is on.

Startup Print Data Logs

Enable & Delay Time

If enabled, the Recorder prints a data log after the program starts. This is used for QA information, when it is necessary to print the startup readings of stations. Adjust Delay Time, to allow the stations to startup and information to come back before doing the printout.

Line Graph Print Margins

Top & Left

These margins are given to move the top and left of the graph across the page. The value entered can be larger than 250, this is only a suggestion. Try entering different figures and doing a print until you get the margin you desire.

Print Font

Use the select printer font dialog box to select a font for the Line Graph Print. Always test the print after selecting a font, to confirm it is the correct size you want, as some sizes may be smaller or larger depending on the printer used.

Make the font selections and click OK. Print a line graph to check the output is OK.
Please note with a large font size, some information at the bottom of the graph may be overwritten, if this happens, select a smaller font size.

Spooler Datalog / Report Print Margins

Left

These margins are given to move the printout to allow for a margin on the left of the page. The value entered can be larger than 500, this is only a suggestion. Try entering different figures and doing a print until you get the margin you desire.
