Setting Page Margins

It is possible to set page margins which apply to all types of Solar Fire’s printed output, including charts, reports and time maps.

>> To set page margins

•From the Main Screen, select the Charts menu then the Page Margins option

This will display a “Page Margins” dialog box in which it is possible to view the current page margins or to set new ones.

There are four margins (left, right, top and bottom), each of which may be different, if desired. These margins are expressed in terms of a ratio of page dimensions (based on the printable page area, not the full page size), so a setting of 0.1 indicates a margin of 1/10th of the printable page size, for example.

Each margin must be between 0 and 0.4 inclusive. A page margin of 0 indicates that printed output will extend right to the edge of the printable area of the page.

For example, if you wish to set a 10% left hand binding margin, but to otherwise use the full printable area, then enter

0.1  0.0  0.0  0.0

When you select the OK button you will be asked to confirm your settings before they are saved. Note that the page margin settings are saved for subsequent sessions only if you choose to Save Settings or if Save Settings on Exit is on.
