<i>EAGLE Help</i>
<h1><center>Printer Page Setup</center></h1>
<hr>
The Printer Page Setup dialog is used to define how a drawing or text
shall be placed on the paper.
<p>
<b>Border</b>
<p>
Defines the left, top, right and bottom borders. The values are either in
millimeters or inches, depending on which unit results in fewer decimals.
<p>
The default border values are taken from the printer driver, and define
the maximum drawing area your particular printer can handle. You can enter
smaller values here, but your printer hardware may or may not be able to
print arbitrarily close to the paper edges.
<p>
After changing the printer new hardware minimums may apply and your
border values may be automatically enlarged as necessary to comply with
the new printer. Note that the values will not be decreased automatically
if a new printer would allow smaller values. To get the smallest possible
border values you can enter <tt>0</tt> in each field, which will then be
limited to the hardware minimum.
<p>
<b>Calibrate</b>
<p>
If you want to use your printer to produce production layout drawings,
you may have to calibrate your printer to achieve an exact 1:1
reproduction of your layout.
<p>
The value in the <b><u>X</u></b> field is the calibration factor to use
in the print head direction, while the value in the <b><u>Y</u></b> field
is used to calibrate the paper feed direction.
<p>
<b>IMPORTANT NOTE: When producing production layout drawings with
your printer, always check the final print result for correct measurements!</b>
<p>
The default values of <tt>1</tt> assume that the printer produces exact
measurements in both directions.
<p>
<b>Vertical</b>
<p>
Defines the vertical alignment of the drawing to be either
<b><u>T</u>op</b>, <b><u>C</u>enter</b> or
<b><u>B</u>ottom</b>.
<p>
<b>Horizontal</b>
<p>
Defines the horizontal alignment of the drawing to be either
<b><u>L</u>eft</b>, <b>C<u>e</u>nter</b> or
<b><u>R</u>ight</b>.
<p>
<b>C<u>a</u>ption</b>
<p>
Activates the printing of a caption line, containing the time and date
of the print as well as the file name.
<p>
If the drawing is mirrored, the word "mirrored" will appear in the caption,
and if the scale factor is not <tt>1.0</tt> it will be added as <b>f=...</b>
(the scale factor is given with 4 decimal digits, so even if <b>f=1.0000</b>
appears in the caption the scale factor will not be <i>exactly</i> <tt>1.0</tt>).
<p>
<b><u>P</u>rinter...</b>
<p>
Invokes the system printer dialog, which enables you to choose which printer
to use and to set printer specific parameters (like paper size and orientation).
