Printing Options
To format the printing output of your schedule, choose File | Printing | Printing Options .
General tab
• Symbol Notes and
Collapse/Expand Indicators
• Color
• Specify Output Size
Within these options, you can choose to:
Include Symbol Notes Page to
print a separate page containing the
Symbol Notes entries. These will be
numbered according to the numbered
symbols on the schedule, so that you
can match the notes to the symbols.
Only Print Symbol Notes for
Printed Symbols to print only notes within the specifi ed date range (as set under the Print by Date Range tab);
thus ignoring notes from symbols that are outside the date range being printed.
Include Collapse/Expand Indicators on Output to print summary roll-up indicators if they are shown on
the schedule.
Always include note indicators on prints and metafi les to print symbol note indicators if they are shown
on the schedule.
Print Colors in Shades of Gray to cause the software to use shades of gray on non-color printers.
Generally, this should be selected.
Force Color Output to ensure that color commands are sent to color printers. It is ignored on non-color
printers. Generally, this should be selected.
Background Colors (Also Affects Column Background)
Include on Prints and Metafi les to print the background color as set in Format | Frame, Highlights |
Background color, border, frame corners.
Interior Areas Only to print the background color only within the schedule frame. Areas outside of this
frame will not be shaded.
Use Specifi ed Size to retain the schedule’s horizontal and vertical size settings as set in the Layout menu.
This setting allows the schedule page to span across multiple sheets of paper. This option is also important to
choose if you have placed graphics or free-form text on your schedule.
Scale to Fit Selected Paper Size to force the size of the schedule to scale down or up to the size of the
printing paper.
Use Custom Scaling Specifi ed to increase or decrease the horizontal and vertical scale of the schedule.
For example, change the Horizontal factor to .5 to reduce the schedule size horizontally by 50%. The default
scaling factor of 1 is for 100%. Note that if you use custom scaling, you cannot make a schedule page span
across multiple sheets of paper. Only the Use Specifi ed Size option allows that.
If you call up the Printing Options dialog box while in Print Preview, the option Preview Selected Lines Only
is visible. This option allows you to preview selected task rows within the Print Preview screen.
