The print dialog is divided into six subsections. Generally, it can be summarized that every subsection can be dropped out, so that only the required information will be printed. When pressing the button Page settings…, the margins and paper sizes will be defined. At the same time it is possible to view the print preview.

General Settings

Within the general settings (cf. figure) the user can define the general formatting of print documents. Beside determining the pagination within the header and footer area, the title of the document can be selected here. Further, the design of the front page can be selected at this point. The user can define a subtitle, a date, an information text as well as a company logo. If a certain information should not be printed, it can be dropped out at the user's option.

In the print settings for the charts, the charts to be printed are selected. If new charts have been defined under Options, Chart, Charts, they are also included in the list.

The user can additionally define whether one or two diagrams per page shall be printed. The value data sheets of the ongoing processes can be printed either separately or inside the diagram. If it is requested to choose a white background instead of the SIGMA color, the user is able to perform it in the settings. While putting a checkmark to Show only non-hidden machines, every diagram of the related machine will be printed.

In this printing section the user chooses the result data sheet which shall be printed. Here, the used process data, the calculation settings and the procedural parameters can be dumped out. Moreover, the user can decide whether he will get information about the melting of the solid areas and of results.

For every kind of material the user can print the thermodynamic and rheological data as well as the Density with the overall related mathematical interrelations (cf. figure).

The user is able to print all relevant information which belong to the machines in use. With this, SIGMA makes it possible to show the general machine information either with or without its machine elements. Furthermore, the user can print the screw and cylinder configuration. To get more detailed information about the used machine elements, the user has to select them either via list or under Details.

This dialogue offers the possibility to print die settings, calculation results and melt filter settings.
