Assaf,

Please take a look at my printout of my assigned Quick Keys.  Any suggestions of what I am doing wrong?  Printouts of same using previous versions of FreeSCAN were fine.  I've tried changing the font type and size and have gotten no difference.

Thanks for your great software.

Peter

What version of IE are you using?

Assaf,

I use Firefox when I browse.  I was not aware that IE is invoked when using FreeSCAN.  But, anyway, I do have IE installed and it is Ver. 8  (please see captured picture below)

IE is used to perform a lot functions in FreeSCAN. It's a lousy browser but the built in functions can be used to do useful tasks. I'm wondering what font and size you have selected? Also it looks like you might have it set to a non standard page size? I am wondering because I am having difficulties reproducing that problem here and have the same version of IE.

This is what I did:

1.   I choose Print
2.   Then I check “Print Quick Key Summary”
3.   In the same dialogue pane, I press “Page Setup”
4.   Then  I press the “Change Font”
5.   I select the first entry “”@Arial Unicode MS”, “Regular”  and Size 8, then the “OK” button
I still get the same printout as what I first sent you.  No change in font or size, columns crammed together so that lines fold over without attractive tabbing.

Am I supposed to choose size and font in IE?  I do not how to do this if yes.

I believe I was able to change font and size before 0.9F

As for page size, I got that straightened out when you helped me get all that I was supposed to see all the radio buttons when I was doing Ez-Grab! downloading.

Thanks,

Peter

Ok well, I suspect it may have to do something to do with how the page size and margins are setup. They might be just set too small for anything to fit so it has to wrap around. I'd try it again using Letter and see if it happens.

FYI

It works fine for me to print the SQK summary on a 3 x 5 card in landscape mode.  I set each of the margins to its minimum setting before printing.  I've got three columns.  They contain 19, 19 and 13 systems.  The header contains the name of the scanner and the date.

I tried a different approach.  Up to now, I have been printing directly from the FreeSCAN page, i.e., I choose PRINT, SELECT ALL, PREVIEW.. (here I get the what image I sent in my previous posts), then PRINT.  My printer prints out what is seen in the PREVIEW screen.

Just now, I tried PRINT TO HTML.  Now I know why IE is involved.  The file I saved is what I am looking for.  On the IE page, I then I have to "Edit with Microsoft Office Word" to change font and size, etc.

I guess I am not sure how to change parameters when printing directly from FreeSCAN (without using IE).

Thanks.

Peter

You can change those parameters in the setup. If you click on Page Properties (or something similar I don't remember offhand) you can set your page size and margins. I suspect they are too small.

Assaf,

If you mean the "Page Setup" button above the "Print to HTML" button, I have done that and that will change the settings for when I print to HTML, but still, not when I print to printer directly from the software.

Thank you

The way that I'm doing it is to click on

File --> Print...

then make sure that the box is checked for "Print Quick Key Summary" and that the other two boxes are unchecked.  Then click on Page Setup.

In my case, I use 3 x 5 cards so I set that in the Page Setup as the Paper Size, select Landscape, leave Enable Shrink to Fit checked, and set all four margins to 0.  Those settings then change automatically to the minimum that you can use.  I then enter the name of the scanner in the first of the header fields and select "Date in short format" for the last header field.  I use the default font at 9 pt bold.

Click OK, then Show Print Dialog, Print.

See if that will work for you.

Chili, you have to be doing something. The page setup does affect when you print directly. I suspect you have wacky values entered in for the page size and margins but can't tell for sure.

Assaf,

Assaf,

Thank you and Dick for trying to help me.  I do not get the things that Dick does, such as
 I do not have a 3x5 option in the Page Size window.

Assaf, I downloaded 0.9F just minutes after you released it.  Could it be possible that you made a correction to 0.9F after I downloaded it?

Thanks

Nothing was changed in .9F since I uploaded the file, and nothing printing wise changed between it and .9E. It's got to be something in your Page Setup. My margins for example are all .75, Letter page size, and shrink-to-fit enabled.

Chili,

Have you tried redownloading and reinstalling?  Perhaps your download or installation got corrupted.
