Printing Options

Check the 'Summary' option if you wish the summary to be printed. The information printed is the same as that shown in the summary view window, except that there are options for independently determining whether the comment lines and user data are printed.

Check the 'Statistics' option if you wish the statistical data to be printed. The information printed is the same as that shown in the statistics view window.

If the start and end samples are not set to the first and last sample, an additional set of statistical information is printed for the samples between the start and end markers.

If the data visible in the graph view is less than the entire record, an additional set of statistical information is printed for the samples visible on the graph.

If the checkbox On new page is checked, the statistics data starts printing on a fresh page.

Check the 'Graph' option if you want the temperature data to be shown as a graph. Temprecord can allocate anything from 10% of the page (not very useful!) to the whole page for the graph of temperature data (see the following option 'Graph Height'). If there is not this amount of space remaining on the page after the printing of any the previous data, the graph will be printed on the next page. The samples that are printed depend on the settings of the 'Sample Range' below.

If the checkbox On new page is checked, the graph data starts printing on a fresh page.

If the checkbox Full page landscape is checked, the graph will be sized to occupy the whole page, and rotated so that it is in "landscape" view (with the longer edge of the paper horizontal). This option forces the graph to start on a new page. If a PDF file is being produced or previewed and the PDF orientation is set to portrait, it is switched to landscape for the page the graph is on, then returned to portrait for any remaining pages. Similarly if the output is being sent to the printer and the printer orientation is set to portrait, it is switched to landscape for the page the graph is on, then returned to portrait for any remaining pages.

If the checkbox Serial Number is checked, the logger serial number is printed above the graph. If the On new page option is checked, the new page is forced before the serial number is printed. This option does not affect the printing of the serial number as part of the report summary.

If the checkbox User Data is checked, the logger user data is printed above the graph. If the On new page option is checked, the new page is forced before the user data is printed. This option does not affect the printing of the user data as part of the report summary. The number of user data lines printed is determined by the User Data Lines summary option described above.

The graph options Serial Number and User Data are intended for the production of single-page reports where only the graph is required and serial number and the user data.

Use this option to specify the height of the graph printed in the report. This option is only used if the 'Graph' option described above is also checked. The height is specified in terms of a percentage of the available page height.

If you set the printer to Landscape orientation instead of Portrait, the graph height is measured relative to the height of the landscape page

Use this option to specify what samples are shown in the graph and/or values in the printed and PDF output. This option is only used if the 'Graph' and/or 'Values' options described above are also checked.

•'Entire Record' specifies that all samples read from the currently loaded Temprecord file or the logger are to be printed.

•'Visible Window' specifies that only those samples displayed in the current Temprecord data graph view window are to be printed. If this option is used, the printed graph will have the same temperature and sample span as the displayed graph view window, and the graticule positions will be the same.

•'From Start to End Markers' specifies that only those samples between the start and end samples are to be printed.

When the 'Visible Window' option is selected, the vertical and horizontal axes may not display as they do on the screen. See the topic Why doesn't my printed graph look the same as the one I see on screen? for more information.

Check the 'Values' option if you want the sample values to be printed as a list of numerical values, i.e. in tabular fashion.

The samples that are printed depend on the settings of the 'Sample Range' described above.

If the checkbox On new page is checked, the values data starts printing on a fresh page.

Only the samples between the start and end markers are included when you print the values in tabular fashion. If you want all the samples to be printed, make sure all the samples are selected (use the Select All function).

Be careful when using this option. Depending on the settings of the text font, the columns, and the sample range, you can generate a large amount of printout !

If you want Temprecord to print only as many values as will fit across the page, then 'Auto-wrap columns' should be checked. If you want Temprecord to print a fixed number of columns across the page, whether they would fit or not, the 'Auto-wrap columns' should be unchecked. You can then change the number of columns in the 'Columns' field.

The columns option sets the number of columns across the printed page when the temperature values are printed. This option is useful when you wish each line of values to correspond to a particular time interval. If you specify a sample period of 5 minutes for example, and you set the number of columns to 12, then each line will contain 1 hours worth of samples.

If you specify more columns here than will fit across the printed page, not all of the temperature values will print. If you want all temperature values to be visible, make sure the 'Auto-wrap columns' option is on.

Check this option to cause the date and time to be written at the left of the page. The date and time printed is that of the sample immediately following.

Check this option to show the transitions from one day to the next to be shown as a new line. If this option is checked, only the time is printed at the left-hand side of each line.

Check this option if you want the units printed as a single character (C or F) after temperature values, or as %RH after humidity values.

Check this option if you want the degrees symbol (°) printed after temperature values.

Check this option if you want a comma printed between each pair of temperature/humidity values. This option has no effect if only one of temperature or humidity is printed.

Check this option if you want left and right parentheses printed around each pair of temperature/humidity values. This option has no effect if only one of temperature or humidity is printed.

As you alter the above options, the three preview panels show the effect the current set of options has on the printing of each of a temperature value, humidity value, or temperature/humidity value pair.
