Printing

With File arrow Print you reach this dialogue with the tabs described below.

General Information:

The notation with selected diagrams will be printed. You can select diagrams for printing by clicking on the move in the move list with the right mouse button and then select 'Move: Print Diagram'. You can unselect the diagram in the same way.

To print diagrams you have to install a chess true-type-font like 'Chess Merida' in your Windows system. A lot of fonts work properly, like 'Chess Merida', 'Chess Kingdom', 'DiagramTTHabsburg', 'DiagramTTOldstyle', 'DiagramTTUSCF'.

[_] Tab Sheet "Print"

Here you can start the printer configuration dialogue of your printer and define headlines and foot lines.

Headlines and foot lines consist of three areas each: A left, a middle and a right one. In all areas you can write any text you like. Certain variables are replaced by some interesting information:

  • /f : The current filename will be printed.
  • /n : The page number will be printed.
  • /d : The current date will be printed.
  • /t : The current time will be printed.
  • /p : Game information will be printed.

[_] Tab Sheet "Mode"

Under this tab sheet you can determine the format of the output and whether or not the mainlines, values or comments are displayed. Also the font type and size of text can be set.

[_] Tab Sheet "Margins/Columns"

Here you can adjust margins, number of columns and the margin between the columns.

[_] Tab Sheet "Header"

You can select the fields to be printed before the game notation.

[_] Tab Sheet "Diagrams"

The size of the diagrams can be adjusted here and whether they are printed with or without co-ordinates. Since Arena 1.99beta5 you also can choose to use the same font as you have selected for the chessboard on the monitor or to choose a different font.

In order to have diagrams printed, you have to select the move after which the diagram is to be printed with a mouse-right-click and then select "Move:Print Diagram". A "(D)" appears after the move.
