<h1><center>PRINT</center></h1>
<hr>
<dl>
<dt>
<b>Function</b>
<dd>
Prints a drawing to the system printer.
<p>
<dt>
<b>Syntax</b>
<dd>
<tt>PRINT [factor] [-limit] [options] [;]</tt>
<p>
</dl>
<b>See also</b> <a href=107.htm>CAM Processor</a>,
<a href=103.htm>printing to the system printer</a>
<p>
The PRINT command prints the currently edited drawing to the system printer.
<p>
Colors and fill styles are used as set in the editor window. This can be
changed with the <tt>SOLID</tt> and <tt>BLACK</tt> options.
The color palette used for the printout is always that for white background.
<p>
If you want to print pads and vias "filled" (without the drill holes
being visible), use the command
<pre>
<a href=86.htm>SET</a> DISPLAY_MODE NODRILL;
</pre>
<b>Please note that polygons in boards will not be automatically calculated
when printing via the PRINT command! Only the outlines will be drawn.
To print polygons in their calculated shape you have to use the
<a href=75.htm>RATSNEST</a> command before printing</b>.
<p>
You can enter a <tt>factor</tt> to scale the output.
<p>
The <tt>limit</tt> parameter is the maximum number of pages you want the
output to use. The number has to be preceded with a <tt>'-'</tt> to
distinguish it from the <tt>factor</tt>.
In case the drawing does not fit on the given number of pages, the <tt>factor</tt>
will be reduced until it fits.
Set this parameter to <tt>-0</tt> to allow any number of pages (and thus making sure
the printout uses exactly the given scale factor).
<p>
If the PRINT command is not terminated with a <tt>';'</tt>,
a <a href=104.htm>print dialog</a> will allow you to set
print options.
Note that options entered via the command line will not be stored permanently in the print setup
unless they have been confirmed in the <a href=104.htm>print dialog</a>
(i.e. if the command has not been terminated with a <tt>';'</tt>).
<p>
The following <tt>options</tt> exist:
<p>
<table>
<tr><td valign=top><font face=Helvetica,Arial><tt>MIRROR</tt> </font></td><td valign=top><font face=Helvetica,Arial>mirrors the output</font></td></tr>
<tr><td valign=top><font face=Helvetica,Arial><tt>ROTATE</tt> </font></td><td valign=top><font face=Helvetica,Arial>rotates the output by 90°</font></td></tr>
<tr><td valign=top><font face=Helvetica,Arial><tt>UPSIDEDOWN</tt> </font></td><td valign=top><font face=Helvetica,Arial>rotates the drawing by 180°. Together with <tt>ROTATE</tt>, the drawing is rotated by a total of 270°</font></td></tr>
<tr><td valign=top><font face=Helvetica,Arial><tt>BLACK</tt> </font></td><td valign=top><font face=Helvetica,Arial>ignores the color settings of the layers and prints everything in black</font></td></tr>
<tr><td valign=top><font face=Helvetica,Arial><tt>SOLID</tt> </font></td><td valign=top><font face=Helvetica,Arial>ignores the fill style settings of the layers and prints everything in solid</font></td></tr>
</table>
If an <tt>option</tt> is preceeded with a <tt>'-'</tt>, that option is turned off in case
it is currently on (from a previous PRINT).
A <tt>'-'</tt> by itself turns off all <tt>options</tt>.
<p>
<b>Examples</b>
<p>
<table>
<tr><td valign=top><font face=Helvetica,Arial><tt>PRINT</tt> </font></td><td valign=top><font face=Helvetica,Arial>opens the <a href=104.htm>print dialog</a> in which you can set print options</font></td></tr>
<tr><td valign=top><font face=Helvetica,Arial><tt>PRINT;</tt> </font></td><td valign=top><font face=Helvetica,Arial>immediately prints the drawing with the default options</font></td></tr>
<tr><td valign=top><font face=Helvetica,Arial><tt>PRINT - MIRROR BLACK SOLID;</tt> </font></td><td valign=top><font face=Helvetica,Arial>prints the drawing mirrored, with everything in black and solid</font></td></tr>
<tr><td valign=top><font face=Helvetica,Arial><tt>PRINT 2.5 -1;</tt> </font></td><td valign=top><font face=Helvetica,Arial>prints the drawing enlarged by a factor of 2.5, but makes sure that it does not exceed <b>one</b> page</font></td></tr>
