24.1 Printing Project Documentation
Programming with STEP 7
Manual, 05/2010, A5E02789666-01 541
Print Preview
You can use the "Print Preview" function to display the page layout of the document to be printed.
Note
The print format of the finished document is not displayed in the print preview.
Setting the Page Format and the Headers and Footers
You can set the paper size (such as A4, A5, Letter) and the page format and the orientation
(portrait or landscape) for all documents that you want to print with the File > Page Setup menu
command. In addition, you can select whether the settings should apply to the entire project only
for the current session.
Adjust the layout of the document so that it matches the required paper format. If the document is
too wide, the right-hand margin will be printed on a consecutive page.
If you select a page format with a margin (for example, A4 margin), the printed document has a
margin on the left of the page that you can use to punch holes for binding.
To set headers and footers for the documents you want to print throughout the project or only for
the current session, go to the "Labeling Fields" tab.
24.1.3 Special Note on Printing the Object Tree
In the "Print Object List" dialog box, in addition to the object list you can also print the object tree by
selecting the option "Tree window."
If you select the option "All" under "Print range," the whole tree structure is printed. If you select the
option button "Selection," the tree structure from the selected object downwards is printed.
Note
The settings made in the dialog box apply only to printing the list or tree and not for printing the
contents of the objects; the settings in the relevant applications are used for this.
