After selecting the ~SB~Print╔~SB~ command you will be presented with a dialog of Vision Lab print options. Checking ~SB~Only Print Selection~SB~ will only print the selected portion of the image. If the image size is greater than the paper size the image will be trimmed to fit on the paper. Selecting ~SB~Clip It~SB~ when printing the pix map will send the image to the clipboard rather than the printer. The image sent to the clipboard will be the same as if the image was printed on an ImageWriter with a color ribbon. If you want the image name to be printed just above the image be sure to check ~SB~Print Image Name:~SB~. The image name will default to the document╒s title but you may enter any name you wish.
After clicking on the ~SB~OK~SB~ button you will be presented with the standard print dialog for the printer you are using. After selecting any additional printer specific options printing will begin.
~SB~ImageWriter printing╔~SB~
If you do not have a color ribbon installed in your ImageWriter you will ~SU~only~SU~ be able to print bit maps and one bit deep pix maps. If you do have a color ribbon installed you must select the color dither method to use when separating the colors for ImageWriter printing. Different methods will produce varying results depending upon the colors contained in the source image. When printing in color the gray map will be used for changing the brightness and the contrast.
~SB~LaserWriter (PostScript) printing╔~SB~
Bit maps and one bit deep pix maps will print normally on the LaserWriter. Other images will be sent to the LaserWriter using 256 gray levels for PostScript halftoning. When printing these images the gray map will be used for changing the brightness and the contrast. The LaserWriter SC is not a PostScript device and will be treated as if it were an ImageWriter.
~SB~True color printing╔~SB~
If you are lucky enough to have a Tektronix 4693D-MAC II or similar output device, sorry, but Vision Lab does not support true color output yet. This is simply because I do not know how these devices work. If someone does know and is willing to tell me I would gladly add this capability to Vision Lab.
