Dialog Box: Print Graphics Image [File Menu]

This dialog is shown when either the Atoms or Spectra Window is active; when a Text window is active, there is only a standard system printer dialog (next paragraph).

If the Standard printer dialog on OK box is checked, the Print dialog supplied by the operating system or the printer driver comes up after you click OK. Use that dialog to set the number of copies or the resolution. The orientation (portrait or landscape) is set in the Print Setup dialog in the File menu.

If you have a color printer, you may need to make a choice between color and black-and-white printing in one of the printer dialogs as well as with the Color printing checkbox in this dialog. This choice may be an option in the standard printer dialog above, or you may need to set in the Print Setup option in the File menu. Background applies only to color printing; for black-and-white printing the background is always white.

See Frames for details of the frame and frame units.

----------Macintosh Only --------------------------

Resolutions. The list box at the bottom of the dialog should show the currently-available resolutions for your printer. The units are pixels per inch. Generally, the highest resolution should be chosen.
