Specifying how to print axes
The options in the Axes box affect how axes are printed. Specify the thickness of
the lines used to print the axes by typing the desired value in the Axis Thickness
text box. The thickness is measured in units that correspond to pixels on the
screen. The allowed values are 1 through 6. For example, if the axes on the screen
are two pixels thick (as set in the View options), you can print the axes with the
same thickness by setting this option to 2.
Specify the thickness of the tick marks printed along the axes by typing the
desired value in the Mark Thickness text box. The thickness is measured in units
that correspond to pixels on the screen. The allowed values are 1 through 6.
If you want the X-axis (including its axis label and numbers) printed with spectra,
turn on Show X. Similarly, turn on Show Y if you want the Y-axis printed.
If you want a grid printed when you print spectra, turn on Show Grid. The grid is
composed of vertical and horizontal lines that represent values on the X-axis and
Y-axis. The major grid lines are aligned with tick marks, and the minor lines are
evenly spaced between the major lines. The lines make it easier to find X and Y
values of points in the spectra.
If Show Grid is on, a grid will be included if you print a spectrum displayed in a
spectral window, or a log or report into which you have pasted a spectrum from
any spectral window.
Note
It is not necessary for a grid to be displayed to print spectra with a grid. ▲
If you are using paper that has a preprinted grid, turn off Show Grid. See
“Specifying margins for printing” for details on printing on this type of paper.
Printing an
information box with spectra
Turn on Show Info Box if you want spectra in a spectral window printed with
information about the selected spectrum in a box below the spectra. (If you want an
information box printed for each spectrum, display each spectrum in a separate
spectral window and then print each window.) Six kinds of information will be
included: the four items listed below plus the text in the Custom Info 1 and Custom
Info 2 boxes in the Collection And Processing Information window. See “Collection
and processing information” in the “About the Display” chapter for details.
• spectrum title
• date of collection
• resolution
• number of scans
Note
Note
If the spectrum title is long or you are using a large font size for printing sampling
information, undesirable results may occur when you print an information box,
especially if you print using portrait orientation. For best results, set Orientation to
Landscape when Show Info Box is turned on. ▲
Show Info Box does not affect the printing of reports. ▲
Printing a box
around spectra
If you want a box drawn around printed spectra or other images, turn on Show
Outer Box. If you are using paper that has a preprinted grid, it is usually best to
turn off Show Outer Box before you print. See “Specifying margins for printing”
for more information on printing or plotting on this type of paper.
