Keystroke: Ctrl + F12
Note: Changes in this dialog affect only the current document.
When you select this menu item, the following dialog is displayed. Before making adjustments, be aware that there are two likely situations where you may want to print a document as opposed to embossing it.
The first is to obtain a copy of your text document, and the second to obtain a print copy of your braille document. In the case of the latter, often used by sighted braille proof readers, you need to take special care when setting up the Formatted Page Size.
Printer...: (Button or press Alt + p)
It may seem odd to start at the end of the dialog, but in fact we do need to select an ink printer before we can make appropriate changes to the main dialog. This will bring up another dialog (not shown here), enabling us to select a printer which is already installed on the system. From the Name: drop down list box, select the printer you wish you use for printing.
Properties: (Button) This will bring up yet another dialog which shows the Properties for the selected printer. This will be a dialog appropriate for the printer selected, and as these vary considerably, we suggest you may wish to refer to your printer manual for a detailed explanation.
Network: (Button) If the printer you wish to use is on a Network, this will bring up the standard Windows Network Printer dialog appropriate to your operating system. If you are unsure about this function, please refer to your system manager or administrator.
When you have selected your printer, press OK to return to the main Printer Setup dialog and proceed as follows:
Size: This is a drop down list box which enables you to select the size of paper to be used for printed output. The list of sizes available in determined by the make & model of printer selected.
Source: Some printers allow you to feed paper in a variety of ways. Some also have multiple paper trays to enable you to select different types and colour of paper. Again, what is available is dependent on the make & model of printer selected.
