RockWorks | Datasheet | File | Print
Use this program to output the data contained in the current datasheet to your printer.
- Print: This is a yes/no setting that tells the program whether the column should be included on the printout. To change the setting, just double-click on the cell with your mouse. This will toggle the setting from No to Yes and vice versa. Note that if you choose to print the first column (with the check-mark) or any of the graphic columns (symbols, colors, patterns, etc.), you will see their text version - symbol number, color number, pattern/density/color numbers, etc. You will not see the graphic block.
- Printer Setup: Click on this button to establish the type of printer you are using. When invoked, the program will display a dialog box with a pop-up list box containing the printers that are currently installed within Windows. You may select the printer you wish to use. The Options button will display additional printer configuration dialog boxes for the selected printer, such as paper orientation, etc.
- Font: Click on this button to change the font in which the datasheet contents will be printed.
- See your Windows documentation for information about installing printer drivers, and see your printer’s documentation regarding specific printer settings.
- Access the RockWorks Datasheet program tab.
- Open the datasheet to be printed, if necessary, or type in new data.
- Select the File | Print menu option.
The program will display a dialog box for establishing some printing settings. Along the left will be displayed all of the column names, as defined in the header of the rwDat file.
- Establish the menu settings discussed above.
- Click OK.
The program will display a dialog box displaying print options specific to your printer. This is typically used to establish the range of pages to be printed, the number of copies, and so on.
- Click OK again.
The datasheet will be sent to the printer. The program will dimension the width of the columns automatically to assure that all data is visible. It will automatically panel onto additional pages any columns and/or rows not visible on the first page.
