### Setting Output and Printer Options for the Report Window

Selecting the File | Printing | Report Window Print Setup menu option will display the Report Print Options dialog box.

Report Print Options dialog box

You can use this dialog box to tell PC-DMIS where you want to send the inspection report. You can send it to a file, the printer, or output it as a DMIS file or any combination of the three. To do this:

1. Select the File check box, the Printer check box, the DMIS Output check box, or any combination of the three.

2. Next to each check box certain options will become available depending on what you selected in the previous step.

3. Click the OK button (or press ENTER). The Print Options dialog box closes.

Setting Printing Options for Marked Sets

PC-DMIS also displays an instance of the Report Print Options dialog box whenever a Marked Set is created. (See "Creating and Executing Marked Sets" in "Editing a Part Program".) This allows you to define printing options specific only to the newly created Marked Set. Alternately, if you would rather use already defined print settings used by your part program at large, you can select the Use Global Print Settings check box.

To define printing options for existing Marked Sets, select the set in the Marked Sets window then select File | Printing | Report Window Print Setup.

Setting Image Ratio

A registry entry exists to set the maximum image ratio between the screen resolution and the printer resolution when printing the CAD drawing from the Report window. See MaxImageRatio entry in the Reporting section of the PC-DMIS Settings Editor.
