Printing Windows

Printing is available in most StreetSmart Pro® windows, including the ability to customize your printouts with headers, footers, grid lines, and more.

Customizing Window Printing

In windows with the Print feature, click File > Page Setup to begin customizing your print job.

1. Select a Portrait or Landscape orientation. For wider windows, like charts, Watch Lists, etc., landscape may be the better choice to fit all the content on one page width.
   
   TIPS:  
   
   - If the window contents still do not fit on the page, you may, in some windows with this feature, be able to choose to Scale the printing to a lower percentage or click Shrink To Fit Page Width for the printer to automatically scale the page to fit.
   
   - You can also go to Settings > Fonts for the window you are printing and enlarge or reduce the font size to change how the window prints.
2. Next, set up the qualities of your print job (only applicable choices will be available):
• Gridlines: For windows where information is presented in a table format, check this box to keep the lines visible in the printout.
• Greyscale: Check to print in shades of grey/black/white. Note that for some printers, you will have to change this setting in your printer properties for it to take effect. In the File > Print window, select Properties and find the setting for Greyscale and select it. The location of this setting will vary depending on the printer you use.
• Print Background (colors & images): If checked, the printout will look exactly like what you have on the screen. So if you print a chart with a black background, it will print with a black background.
  If unchecked, it would print with a white background and white text would print black.
• Expand Columns to Fit Data: If checked, printouts involving columns of data, such as Watch Lists, will print with the full heading of the column showing.
  If unchecked, the columns will be the same width as they are on the screen and column names may be partially hidden.
3. To adjust the Margins and the Header and Footer content of the printed page, click the Margins & Header/Footer tab.
   
4. Decreasing the size of the Margins may help fit more data onto a page without having to shrink the size of the data, thus keeping it more readable. Use the up/down arrows to adjust the margin size on each edge of the page.
5. If you wish to apply Header and/or Footer data to your page, select the data you wish to display from the drop-down lists in the Headers & Footers panel. The items you choose in the top row will be at the top of the page in the Left/Center/Right positions, and the bottom row selections will appear at the bottom of the page.
   
   Choose either the provided fields, such as Tab Name, Date & Time, Account Number, etc. or choose Custom... and enter your own header or footer content.

When you are finished customizing your print job, go to File > Print and click OK when you are ready to send the page(s) to the printer.
