Print Configuration Dialog Box

The Print Configuration dialog box is displayed by the system operation [PrintSetup] that is associated with the File/Print Setup menu item. It is also available from Edit windows and from the Workspace Explorer and Find Objects tools.

There are four separate tabs namely Setup, Margins, Header/Footer and Printer.

Note that the printing parameters are stored in the Registry in the Printing sub-folder

The specification for headers and footers may include a mixture of your own text, and keywords which are enclosed in braces, for example, {objname}. Keywords act like variables and are replaced at print time by corresponding values.

Any of the following fields may be included in headers, footers and separators.

{WSName}	{WS}	Workspace name
{NSName}	{NS}	Namespace name
{ObjName}	{OB}	Object name
{Author}	{AU}	Author
{FixDate}	{FD}	Date function was last fixed

would cause the following header, footer or separator to be printed at the appropriate position in each page of output:
