Print Setup Dialogs
A Print Setup dialog will be issued when you click the Setup button in an SDL Suite tool Print dialog, or when you click any of the setup buttons in the Contents area of the Organizer Print dialog. When you click the Setup button in the Organizer Print TTCN dialog, the Print TTCN Setup dialog will be issued. The settings in a setup dialog will affect the current group of documents.
The setup dialogs look somewhat different depending on the tool they are invoked from. There are four types of print setup dialogs:
- Print Setup dialog for Table of contents in the Organizer, see Figure 83.
- Print Setup dialog in the SDL, OM, SC and HMSC Editors and, when applicable, in the Organizer, see Figure 84.
- Print Setup dialog in the MSC Editor, see Figure 85.
- Print Setup dialog in tools not mentioned above and, when applicable, in the Organizer, see Figure 86.
- Print TTCN Setup dialog in the Organizer, see Figure 87.
The Print Setup dialog looks the same in the Organizer and the SDL, OM, SC and HMSC Editors.
The Print Setup dialog looks the same in the Link Manager, Type Viewer, the Index Viewer, the Coverage Viewer and the Text Editor.
The setup dialogs contain the following:
- All dialogs contain the Scale area, the Orientation option menu, and the OK, Cancel and Help buttons.
- When applicable, the SDL, HMSC, OM and SC Editor and the Organizer Print Setup dialogs, as well as the Organizer Print TTCN Setup dialog, also contain the Print / Do not print lists.
- The Print only selected symbols toggle button is included in the SDL, HMSC, OM and SC Editor Print Setup dialogs.
- The MSC Print Setup dialog contains the Include Instance Ruler toggle button. This button is also included when MSC setup is invoked from the Organizer Print dialog.
- The Organizer View Print Setup dialog contains the Paper page references toggle button.
- The Table of contents Print Setup dialog contains the toggle buttons After initial text document and Only chapters in TOC.
- The Print TTCN Setup dialog contains the toggle buttons Document burst page, Part burst page and Double sided.
All areas and options mentioned will be explained below.
Print / Do not print
- The Print list shows the documents/pages that will be printed.
- If the Print Setup dialog is invoked from the Organizer, the list contains the documents included in the Organizer scope of print. When the dialog is invoked from the SDL, OM, SC or HMSC Editor, the list contains the current page.
- In the Print TTCN Setup dialog, this list shows the TTCN document that was selected in the Organizer (or all TTCN documents within a TTCN Module). Any other TTCN documents are listed in the Do Not Print list.
- The Do not print list shows the documents/pages that will not be printed.
To specify what is to be printed and not:
On UNIX, you may transfer all diagrams/pages between the two lists by pressing <Shift> while clicking an arrow button.
Scale
It is possible to set the scale in almost all Print Setup dialogs. You can select Percent, Scale to fit page or Scale to fit width.
It is not possible to set the scale in the Text Editor Print Setup dialog or in the Organizer Print TTCN Setup dialog.
Percent
With the Percent radio button on, the printout of the current document category will be scaled according to the value defined in the Percent text field. The default value is 100% but you may of course change this.
Scale to fit page
With the Scale to fit page radio button on, the printout will be rescaled - if needed - to fit the physical paper size.
Scale to fit width
With the Scale to fit width button on, the documents will be rescaled in order to fit the physical paper width. The result becomes a column of pages constituting each document.
Orientation
In the Orientation options menu you may choose between the following orientations of the printout:
By changing the options, you can rotate the printout in order to optimize paper use.
Additional Options
Below the Orientation option, there are a number of additional options, depending on which Print Setup dialog you have opened.
Print only selected symbols
If this toggle button is on, only objects that are selected in a window will be printed. This option is not available when you print from the Organizer. In an SDL Suite tool, it is disabled if no object is selected or if more than one window contain a selection.
Include Instance Ruler
This toggle button is only available in the MSC Print Setup dialog. It specifies whether an instance ruler (see Instance Ruler) should appear on each printed page or not. The instance ruler is, when printed, given an appearance similar to the one shown in the MSC Editor window.
Paper page references
This toggle button is only available in the Organizer View Print Setup dialog. It specifies whether paper page references to all printed diagrams and documents should be included in the Organizer view listing.
After initial text document
This toggle button is only available in the table of contents Print Setup dialog. It specifies whether the table of contents should be printed after a plain text document placed first among the diagrams and documents that are to be printed. The initial text document then acts as a title page before the table of contents.
Only chapters in TOC
This toggle button is only available in the table of contents Print Setup dialog. It specifies whether only the chapters in the Organizer view should be included in the table of contents, or if all diagrams and documents also should be included.
Document burst page
This toggle button is only available in the Organizer Print TTCN Setup dialog. If the toggle is on, a document burst page will be printed. The burst page is an unnumbered cover page for the TTCN document, where the name of the test suite and the print date are printed.
Part burst page
This toggle button is only available in the Organizer Print TTCN Setup dialog. If the toggle is on, part burst pages will be printed. The part burst pages are unnumbered cover pages, that separate the different parts of a TTCN document. The name of the part, the test suite and the print date, are printed on each part burst page.
Double sided
This toggle button is only available in the Organizer Print TTCN Setup dialog. If the toggle is on, the TTCN document will be printed with a page format suitable for a double-sided copying. The appearance is controlled by resources and can therefore be changed (see the file Itex.sample in the TTCN Suite installation directory).
