Recommendations for printing

The following list contains some issues to consider when printing. These are applicable to printing a single window or printing the WindowViewer screen.

• Open the window(s) to be printed before printing it. Otherwise Windows and ActiveX Controls may not print correctly.

• You cannot print to the same printer that is currently printing alarms.

• Avoid overlapping of windows and objects on the window when printing.

• Use True Type fonts whenever possible. The default InTouch font (System) is not a True Type font.

• For faster printing consider using a white background, fewer objects, and text instead of graphics.

• WindowViewer waits a certain amount of time before the window is sent to the printer queue. During this time, WindowViewer updates any I/O values for that window in the background. To change this waiting time, open the intouch.ini file and change or add the following line (in milliseconds): PrintWindowWait=10000
