graybar page you created using the Graybar Wizard contains a set of box objects, where each box object is a bar on the gray-
bar page. You can edit the properties of, or delete, any of these box objects. If you want to change any of the bar and/or page
properties you set in the Graybar Wizard, you must start a new document and begin a new session with the Graybar Wizard.
To create a graybar report document:
1. From the PlanetPress Design Button, chooseNew.
2. Choose Tools | Application | Graybar Wizard.
3. In the Graybar Wizard, click Introduction and enter a name for the graybar report document.
Document name: Enter a name for the document. PlanetPress Design uses the name you enter here as the value of
the Name box in the Document properties dialog box for this graybar report document. If you install the document on a
printer, this is the name under which the printer stores the converted document. Note that when you convert a doc-
ument for PlanetPress Suite Workflow Tools, the converted document bears the name of the PP4 file for the document,
not the name you enter here.
4. In the Graybar Wizard, click Select data file and select the sample data file for the document.
Data file: Displays the path of the sample data file associated with the graybar report document. Click the Browse
button to the right of the box to use the Data Selector to select a sample data file. You can also set up the emulation you
want to use with the graybar report in the Data Selector.
5. In the Graybar Wizard, click Page setup, select a PostScript Printer Definition (PPD) file, and define the default
paper format and orientation for the graybar report document.
Printers: Select the PPD for the graybar report document. PlanetPress Design uses the PPD you select here as the
value of the Designed for box in the Document properties dialog box for this graybar report document. The contents of
the PPD subfolder in the PlanetPress program folder determine the contents of this list. The PPD that appears by default
here is the one selected in the Default printer box of the User Options dialog box.
Paper type: Select the default paper format for the graybar page. The format that appears here by default is the one
set in the User Options dialog box. The formats available depend on the PPD you selected in the Printers box. Note that
you should not adjust the paper format for the graybar page once you exit the Graybar Wizard; the bands of the gray-
bar page do not adjust to reflect any change.
If you are printing in 2-up mode, the Default page size box in the Document properties dialog box determines the size
of the paper on which the two pages print; the page size you select here determines the scaling required to fit the two
pages on that paper size.
Paper orientation: Select the orientation for the graybar page (Portrait, Landscape, Rotated portrait, Rotated land-
scape). PlanetPress Design uses the paper orientation you select here as the value of the Paper orientation box in the
Page properties dialog box for the graybar page. Rotated options rotate the paper 180 degrees, and can be useful when
you are working with perforated paper or using an attachment created in another application. You rotate the document
page instead of the attachment. Note that you should not adjust the paper orientation for the graybar page once you
exit the Graybar Wizard; the bands of the graybar page do not adjust to reflect a change.
Duplexing: Select the duplexing options for the document. The duplexing options available depend on the PPD you
selected for the document. Note that duplexing options apply only to normal pages since these are the only pages that
can print. If you want to print simplex and duplex in the same document, and your printer supports switching between
simplex and duplex in the same job, you can set the duplexing options on a page-by-page basis using the Duplexing
option in the Page properties dialog box. If your printer does not support switching between simplex and duplex in the
same job, you can simulate the switch by setting the duplexing option here and printing a blank page on the back of
each page that you want to print simplex. If you select Default, no command is issued to the printer regarding duplex-
ing for this document; the document uses the printer setting in effect at execution time. Consult the PlanetPress Talk
lesson related to duplex mode for an example of the latter approach.
6. In the Graybar Wizard, click Margins and set the top, bottom, right, and left page margins, and the border options
for the graybar page.
Left: Enter the left margin, relative to the left edge of the physical page.
Right: Enter the right margin, relative to the right edge of the physical page.
Top: Enter the top margin, relative to the top edge of the physical page.
