Print Image

 

Image Size

 

· The Fit pixels option will adjust the print size so that one picture element (pixel) on the printer corresponds to one pixel of image data. Note that this may result in incorrect image size if the resolution of the image is not the same as the resolution of the printer. (For instance, if you scanned the image at 150 dpi and print it on a 300 dpi printer, the printed image will be only half the height and width of the original scanned image).

 

· The Fit resolution option will adjust the print size so that a previously scanned image will get the same size when printed as the original was. Note that this requires that a correct resolution figure is available for the image.

 

· The Fit page option will adjust the print size so that it fills the printable area of the page. (Note that the margins affect the size of the printable area).

 

· The Custom size (use width as reference) option lets you specify the print size. When this option is used, the specified print width is used as reference. Thus, all pages will print with equal width even if the image width:height ratio differs between pages.

 

· The Custom size (use height as reference) option lets you specify the print size. When this option is used, the specified print height is used as reference. Thus, all pages will print with equal height even if the image width:height ratio differs between pages.

 

· Use the Width or Height control to set the desired size of the image. Note that PMView is able to split the image on several pages if the selected size is too large to fit on one sheet of paper. This allows you to create a large poster by gluing the pages together.

 

 

Margins

 

· Use the Left, Right, Top, and Bottom controls to set the desired margins. Note that it is possible to drag the margins in the preview window.

 

· Printable area tells the maximum printable size. (The space between the left and right margin, and the top and bottom margin respectively).

 

· Use Center image between margins to select whether the image should be centered or not. Note that the image is not centered on the page. It is centered between the margins. Consequently, if you want the image centered on the page, you need to make sure that the left and right margins are the same and that the top and bottom margins are the same.

 

 

Page orientation

 

· Page orientation controls lets you set the paper orientation. When Automatic is selected, PMView will automatically select the orientation according to the image dimensions. If the image width exceeds its height, landscape will be selected and vice versa.

 

 

Range and copies

 

· The Print range controls lets you select the range of pages to print. This option is only enabled for image files that contain more than one image.

 

· The Number of copies control lets you set the number of copies to print.

 

Other options

 

· Printer lets you select which printer you want to use.

 

· The Unit selector lets you set the desired unit of measurement; pixels, millimeters, or inches.

 

·The Gamma control lets you adjust the printer gamma. You may need this if your image printout is too bright or dark. Values below one (1) makes the image darker, values above one makes it brighter.

 

· Use the Page control to select which page should be displayed in the preview window. Note that this control is only visible if the desired print size requires multiple pages.
