13 Printing
The iNEWS Newsroom Computer System can use your local printers. A local printer is any
printer that is accessible from your Windows PC. Controlled by the Microsoft Windows
operating system, they are available for any program on your workstation. Local printers can be
connected to your PC, shared on another PC, or connected directly to your local area network
(LAN).
When you print stories, the print commands on the File menu display printer dialog boxes where
you can set print parameters. If you are using the printer buttons on the main toolbar to print, be
aware that they default to the setup of the last print job.
Local printing, also called Windows printing, provides a dialog box with numerous options, such
as selecting a predefined style. These features require some setup preparation or alterations,
usually done by system administrators. For example, there are print style options that must be
defined in SYSTEM.STYLES. Information on these style options are provided in detail in the
“Printers” chapter of the Avid iNEWS Setup and Configuration Guide.

Local printing is not available when your cursor is located in the Directory panel, unless it is on
a queue currently loaded (displayed) in the Queue panel. Local printing is not recommended for
stories larger than 10 kilobytes or 5 minutes, according to iNEWS timing. The iNEWS system
will print these files, but because local printing is not handled in the background, it might cause
your workstation to appear frozen or locked up while the system processes the print job.
