EasyMap maps can be printed on all printers supported by Windows. On black and white printers, the Windows printer driver converts the colors to gray tones. EasyMap can print one or more sheets. By using print areas, you can also print only parts of a sheet. If you have created a Report, EasyMap can also start a series print.
Start the printing process from EasyMap via the menu File > Print.
Size of the map sheets
The size of the sheets in the EasyMap map folder can be set independently of the paper size of the printer. EasyMap also offers the possibility to adjust the size to other paper formats, but then the size you specify will be scaled. If an EasyMap sheet is larger than the printed page, the EasyMap sheet can either be reduced to the page size of the printer or printed in its original size, but then spread over several pages.
In order to be able to control the printout in the best possible way, we recommend that you set the page to the paper size of the printer to be used later, already during the layout of the workbook, via the menu File > Page Setup.
All settings concerning printing are made in the Print dialog. The dialog allows you to select the printer and the scope to be printed.
Print Dialog
Note: If you make the settings and close the dialog via the Close button, the settings are used as the layout basis for the sheets. These settings are then used for the page view or the display of the page layout (option display page layout).
Printer
Select the printer here. The Properties button allows you to set closer properties of the printer (e.g. print page size).
Extent
Specify here what exactly you want to print. You can choose between the selected page, from which you clicked on the print dialog, the overall map folder with all sheets contained therein, a print area or a Report.
Paper size and quantity
Next to Paper size is the paper size selected in Properties of the printer. This may differ from the paper size set in EasyMap.
At Number, specify how often your selection (see Scope) should be printed. The Auto Rotate option selects the optimal print orientation depending on page orientation. Deselect the checkbox to print a portrait orientation card in landscape orientation, for example.
Print Range
Here you can specify how much of the content you want to print. You can print everything or only certain pages.
Fit to page
Checked: Regardless of the setting of the sheet in EasyMap, the contents of the sheet are transferred to the printer sheet. If the sheet sizes do not match, EasyMap will increase or decrease the size of the printout if necessary so that everything can be printed on one page.
Use this option if you want to print something quickly and an exact layout is not required.
Checked off: EasyMap uses exactly the same sizes for the printout that are set for the sheet and the objects. Even if the sheet sizes of EasyMap and the print output do not match, the EasyMap settings are preferred. If the printer sheet is larger than the sheet set in EasyMap, the contents are printed in the upper right corner, the rest of the sheet remains unused. However, if the printer sheet is smaller, EasyMap automatically divides the pages.
Use this option if an exact print layout is important or if you want to use the page splitting option.
