#### Output to the Default Printer

If the Printer check box is marked in the Output Options area, PC-DMIS sends the output to your default printer. These other check boxes in the Output Options area.

Print Background Colors

The Print Background Colors check box lets you determine whether or not the report prints background colors. By default, PC-DMIS selects this check box and prints the background colors. If you clear this check box, PC-DMIS will not print any background colors. If you want to clear or display the background color from a report already in the Report window, make sure you click the Redraw the Report icon from the Reporting toolbar.

Note: In certain cases you may continue to see some background colors in your report even if you've turned off the display of background colors here. This is due to a special background color setting that exists inside certain report template objects and is not controlled by this check box. By default, the TextReportObject and the Report object that exist in PC-DMIS report templates have a faint light-green background color in their color scheme. For the TextReportObject this exists to help show the limits of the object inside the template. If this background color poses a problem, access the Color property for these objects inside the report template, and change the these objects' background colors to white. See "Changing the Report's Text Colors" in the "Reporting Measurement Results".

Print Black and White

The Print Black and White check box determines whether text, lines, and the tolerance zone graphs prints in black and white or using the defined colors.

Note: This does not make every report a completely black and white report. Some elements are not affected by this check box (for example, Graphics Display window, images, and elements in some OCXs will not be affected).
