- <h2>Printing Documents in Amaya</h2>
-
- <p>Amaya can print documents with or without CSS style sheets, on both Linux
- and Windows platforms.</p>
-
- <p class="Note"><b>Important</b>:áOn Linux platforms, Amaya can only generate
- a Postscript description, so you must have a PostScript printer or use an
- application to translate the PostScript into your specific printer
- language.</p>
-
- <p>You can print a document in three ways:</p>
- <ul>
- <li><span class="Link0"><strong>Setup and Print</strong></span>
- (<strong>File> Setup and Print</strong>), which enables you to set
- some parameters and options before printing.</li>
- <li><span class="Link0"><strong>Print</strong></span> (<strong>File
- >Print</strong>), which prints a document using the current print
- configuration (defined using the Setup and Print command).</li>
- <li>The <img src="../../resources/icons/22x22/print.png" alt="Print Button"
- /> button on the button bar. On Linux platforms, this is a shortcut to
- the <strong>Print</strong> command. On Windows platforms, this is a
- shortcut to the <strong>Setup and Print</strong> command, due to a
- problem with the use of DLLs on Windows 95.</li>
- </ul>
-
- <p>For more information on printing with style sheets, see <span
- class="Link0">About Controlling Printing with CSS</span>.</p>
-
- <h3>Using the Setup and Print Command</h3>
-
- <p>The <strong>Setup and Print</strong> command allows you to change the
- printer and toc/page options. Depending on your operating system, some
- parameters and options are reset to their default value when you browse
- another document. This effect depends on each platform.</p>
-
- <h3>The Print Command</h3>
-
- <p>This command prints the current document with the default printing
- parameters or with the values previously set using <strong>Setup and
- Print</strong>.</p>
-
- <p>On Windows platforms, the first time you launch the <strong>Print</strong>
- command, the standard Windows dialog is opened to verify that the default
- printer is correct.</p>
-
- <h3>Printing on Windows Platforms</h3>
-
- <p>On Windows platforms, the first time <strong>Setup and Print</strong> is
- pressed, a dialog allows you to make some choices like:</p>
- <ul>
- <li>generate a table of contents for the document,</li>
- <li>generate a table of links for the document,</li>
- <li>print the document URL on top of each page,</li>
- <li>and print with or without style sheets.</li>
- </ul>
-
- <p>The next times, or when the <strong>Print</strong> command is selected,
- the standard Windows dialog is opened, which allows you to choose the other
- printing parameters.</p>
-
- <h3>Printing on Linux Platforms</h3>
-
- <p>Under Linux, the <strong>Setup and Print</strong> command allows you
- toá:</p>
- <ul>
- <li>set the paper format (A4 or US),</li>
- <li>set the orientation (portrait or landscape),</li>
- <li>choose the number of pages printed on the same sheet (1, 2, or 4 pages
- per sheet),</li>
- <li>choose the output (postsrcipt file or printer).</li>
- </ul>
-
- <p>In addition, you can:</p>
- <ul>
- <li>select the manual paper feed,</li>
- <li>generate a table of contents for the document,</li>
- <li>generate a table of links, which creates a number after each link in
- the document that refers to an entry within the table of links and the
- corresponding URL</li>
- <li>print the document URL on each page,</li>
- <li>print the document with or without style sheets.</li>
- </ul>
-
- <p>When the <strong>Print</strong> command is selected, the printing is done
- with standard options or previous selected options.</p>
-
- <h3>About Controlling Printing with CSS</h3>
-
- <p>Amaya does not print links as underlined. To make this happen, add the
- following line to your user style sheet (amaya.css, located in the <span
- class="Link0">Amaya home directory</span>):</p>
-
- <p><code>@media print {a:link {text-decoration: underline} ... }</code></p>
-
- <p>Amaya supports the CSS page break property <code>page-break-before:
- always</code>. When you attach this property to a specific element using an
- attribute style, Amaya generates a page break before that element. When you
- attach this property to an element type within the style element of the
- document or within an external CSS style sheet, Amaya generates a page break
- before each instance of that element.</p>
