Preferences, Printing section
Configure P3console settings via the File, Preferences menu.
Settings are organised into four sections:
Each section is organised into one or more tabs with some tabs displayed only when running P3console in combination with P3fax.
Printing section, Printing tab
- How should pages that are too big for the paper be printed?
Some images that you try to print can be too big for the printer, for example you may have received an A3 image by email but only have an A4 printer. These settings allow you to configure how P3console prints an image that won't fit at it's original size on the available paper.
- Ignore margins and then scale if necessary
If, ignoring any normal margins, an image is too big to fit in the printable area on the selected printer, shrink the image to fit but use the whole printable area with no extra margins.
- Clip
Print as much of image as fits on the paper and ignore the remainder of the image. This is useful if you want to retain the actual size of the image.
- Reduce to fit
If the image is too big to fit on the paper within the selected margins, shrink the image so that it does fits but retain the margins.
- Show dialog when Print toolbar button is used
Select this option to show the Windows print dialog when you click P3console's Print toolbar button so that you are able to change the default print settings.
Printing section, Print Capture tab - P3fax only
When using P3console with P3fax, files can be printed to the P3 printer to convert them into images that can then be sent to fax numbers or as attachments to email address.
Select what should happen when something is printed to the P3 printer:
- Send if there is enough information
If the file contains sufficient embedded commands to send the document to a destination it will be sent automatically. Otherwise P3console will display it's Send Message dialog so you can specify destination details and any extra message text you would like to send with it.
This is the default option.
- Edit the recipients, subject, etc.
P3console will always show it's Send Message dialog, whether embedded commands were present or not.
- Add to the current image file
The pages printed to the P3 printer will be added to the current image file.
This is especially useful if you want to send a single message comprising pages from more than one source - such as scanner, file or multiple prints.
Note
- The P3 printer does not support multiple sheet per page or reverse order printing.
- Image files (BMP, JPG, TIF, PNG) may be converted to better quality fax pages if attached to messages rather than printed to the P3 printer.
