The print module
window consists of:
- main menu;
- main functions menu;
- toolbar;
- print options;
- page preview area;
- list of images you're going to print;
- status bar.
In the print options
area located on the left side of the window you can find two drop-down menus.
Use the first one to set the paper size. Depending on the paper size selected in
the first drop-down menu, you can select the print layout. The page preview area,
located in the centre of the window, shows how the real page will look like when
printed out. The number of pages depends on the paper size, print layout and
the number of images you want to print. In the lower part of the print options
area you can see the page number. Use the
buttons
to view the previous or next page.
The page preview area
shows the image of the real page which will be printed out. The red dotted frame
indicates the printable area. To zoom in or out of the page, use the following buttons on the
toolbar:
- zoom in;
- zoom out;
- show best fit;
The right part of the window displays the thumbnails of all images selected in the main module. Under each thumbnail you can set the number of copies for each image. If you set the number to 0 or simply click on the thumbnail, the image won't be printed.
The status bar
displays:
- the total number of images sent to the print module;
- the total number of all copies;
- the number of pages.
If the print layout is set to "Custom", the user arranges images manually on the page. To place the necessary image on the page, double click on its thumbnail on the right side of the window, or simply drag&drop the image to the page. You will see the small icon of the image on the page, drag one of image's corners to change its size. To move the image to the necessary place on the page, simply drag&drop it.
