ZET - Astrology Software - Printing

Printing

ZET allows you to output horoscope charts on a laser or inkjet printer.

When you create interpretations in Web document (HTML) format, the Web browser's facilities for printing are at your disposal. Facilities vary, i.e. print preview, scaling, font selection, etc.

Note: printing of interpretation is accessable in ZET Pro or Geo modifications only.

You can print the Chart and Geographical Map (A*C*G) tableaux as follows:

1. Click the "Tools" Toolbar button, or select "Tools" from the main menu,
2. Select the Print Setup... item,
3. In the Print Setup window click on Properties and select the paper size used by the printer. Set the page Orientation to Landscape. Click "OK" to close Print Setup,
4. Click the "Tools" Toolbar button, or select "Tools" from the main menu,
5. Select the Print Chart menu item,
6. Click OK to print.

On some systems (computers) the program can't define the printer, giving out the message "There is no default printer currently selected", in this case use other ways to receive the listing, described below.

You can select fonts and/or scaling with the options on the Chart Settings - Fonts tab. You can, of course, use a ZET configuration that you have designed specifically for print-outs.

You can print the Cosmos, Sky and N-Chart tableaux by exporting them as GIF files. The procedure starts up the graphics program associated with GIF files and loads it with an image of the tableau.
