Question ref Material Setup Page

Post by RobertD »

Howdy Everyone

I hope everyone is staying healthy in these troubling times.

I have Aspire 10.019, and recently printed out the work sheet for a two sided project. On the screen there are diagrams of the Job Type, Material Flip direction etc. However the diagrams / pictures do not print on my job sheet. I have a full colour laser printer. I have not been able to locate a problem with my drivers. So I wondering if anyone has a thought.
Please let me know.
Thanks stay healthy and hope for an early end to this virus problem

This depends on the web browser you’re using. You can try “Print Preview” and see if there is an option to print “background graphics”.

If you're using Chrome when the print dialog appears click More Settings and check the Background Graphics box.

In Firefox choose Print from the three bar menu (not Ctrl-P), click Page Setup and then check Print Background.

As far as I'm aware you can't print background images at all in the current versions of Microsoft Edge. Presumably that will change when they move fully to the same engine that Chrome uses.

Mine has only printed the vectors since the job sheet feature was added. I just assumed it was a limitation of the software. I was thankful I didn't have to write all that info down anymore.

So should the models be printing also?

I went into Google Chrome and checked the background graphics box as suggested. The graphics perfectly!!

Thanks much for the nudge.

Much Appreciated

To be fair I just expanded a bit on the first reply but glad you got it sorted.
