- <h2><a name="L1062">Printing documents</a></h2>
-
- <p>Amaya is able to print your documents with or without CSS style sheets on
- both Unix and Windows platforms. On Unix platforms it is only able to generate
- Postscript description, so you need to have a PostScript printer or use a
- application able to translate the PostScript into your specific printer
- language.</p>
-
- <p>There are three ways for printing a document thru Amaya:</p>
- <ul>
- <li>the <strong>Setup and Print</strong>command (<code>File/Setup and
- Print)</code>, which allows you to set some parameters and options before
- printing.</li>
- <li>the <strong>Print command</strong> (<code>File/Print</code>), which
- prints a document using the configuration setup thru the previous
- command.</li>
- <li>the <img src="../Icons/Print.gif" alt="Print" />
- <strong>button</strong>, in the button bar, which is a shortcut to the
- <strong>Print</strong> command on Unix platforms. Under Windows, this
- button is a shortcut to the <strong>Setup and Print</strong> command. This
- is due to a problem with the use of DLLs on Windows 95.</li>
- </ul>
-
- <h3>Setup and Print command</h3>
-
- <p>This command allows you to set up different parameters and options. Note
- that some parameters and options are reset to their default value when you
- browse another document. This clear up depends on each platform.</p>
-
- <h4>Unix platforms</h4>
-
- <p>Under Unix, you can set the following parameters:</p>
- <ul>
- <li>the paper format: A4. US</li>
- <li>the orientation: Portrait, Landscape</li>
- <li>the number of pages printed on the same sheet of paper: 1, 2, 4 pages
- per sheet</li>
- <li>the output: file, or printer</li>
- </ul>
-
- <p>In addition, you can select the following options:</p>
- <ul>
- <li>Manual paper feed</li>
- <li>Generation of the table of contents of the document</li>
- <li>Generation of the table of links: a number is generated after each link
- in the document that refers an entry within the table of links; each table
- entry lists the corresponding URL</li>
- <li>Printing of the document URL on each page</li>
- <li>Printing with or without CSS style sheets</li>
- </ul>
-
- <h4>Windows platforms</h4>
-
- <p>On Windows platforms, a first dialogue box will propose the following
- options:</p>
- <ul>
- <li>Generation of the table of contents of the document</li>
- <li>Generation of the table of links of the document</li>
- <li>Printing of the document URL on each page</li>
- <li>Printing with or without CSS style sheets</li>
- </ul>
-
- <p>then the standard Windows dialogue will let you choose the other printing
- parameters.</p>
-
- <h3>Print command</h3>
- This command prints the current document with the default printing parameters
- or with the values previously set with the command <strong>Setup and
- Print</strong>.
-
- <p>On Windows platforms, the first time you launch the command
- <strong>Print</strong>, the standard Windows dialogue will be displayed to let
- you check that the default printer is correct. The following
- <strong>Print</strong> commands will be launched without any dialogue.</p>
-
- <h3>Controlling page breaks with CSS</h3>
-
- <p>Amaya supports the CSS page break properties: "<strong>page-break-before:
- always</strong>". When that property is attached to a specific element by an
- attribute <strong>style</strong>, it generates a page break before that
- specific element. When that property is attached to an element type within the
- style element of the document or within an external CSS style sheet, it
- generate a page break before each instance of that element.</p>
