Print Registry entry

Specify multimedia print layouts.

Usage

This Registry entry can be assigned to users and groups:

Key User User Group Group Group Group
Key 1 User User Group Group Group Group
Key 2 user user group group Default Default
Key 3 Table Table Table Table Table Table
Key 4 table Default table Default table Default
Key 5 Multimedia
Key 6 Print
Key 7 menucommand
Key 8 papersize
Value layout

where:

menucommand

builds the Print submenu under the Multimedia menu for modules that support multimedia. The Print menu is only available when the current multimedia document is an image. The default Print submenu consists of a single entry: Image... :

papersize

specifies a paper size. The papersize entry is used to tie a particular layout to a particular paper size. For example, it may be desirable to print an image in a certain way on A4 paper, and differently on A3 paper.
layout

specifies the layout used for printing images as a series of overlays. An overlay details how an image or piece of text is to be displayed on a page. There are two types of overlay supported:

The layout part of the Print Registry entry consists of:

...|overlay1;overlay2;...

where:

overlay1;overlay2;...

is a semicolon separated list of image or text components.

When printing is performed each overlay is printed in the order specified, with successive overlays overlaying previous ones. Thus overlay1 is performed first and then overlay2 is placed on top of it and so on until all overlays have been processed.

This setting also makes it possible to send a form feed in the middle of a number of overlays. An example of the use of this would be to flip a page when using duplex printing. Rather than being required to create a complete text entry to send a single character, this is achieved through creating an empty overlay string as indicated in the following example between overlays overlay1 and overlay2:

...|overlay1;;overlay2;...

Examples

This entry defines a new print option using an image overlay:

Key Setting Description

This entry will result in the multimedia image being printed in the top left of the page with a 3 cm margin around the paper edge. The image would not be resized (unless it would not fit on the page, in which case it will be scaled).
