Tree printing

Post by afl2 » 30 Jul 2008 23:15

I am printing a tree on several sheets and the lines do not go to the edge of the papaer. I would like the lines to go all the way to the edge as this would make putting the sheets together alot easier. Nothing indicates this on the diagram option tabs. Am i looking in right place????

Most printers won't actually print at the extreme edges. You need to look at the printer properties to see if the margins are adjustable, either in Control Panel, or in the FH menu, File > Print Setup > Properties... After that it depends on your particular printer.

Double check for a borderless printing option in the settings, and make sure you have no margin set in FH.

When I used to print trees that way I simply bought a paper trimmer and trimmed the top edge when I joined them up.

I don't bother now as my husband has access to a A0 Roll printer.

Hello Jane
Many thanks for your suggestion.
I tried looking at my printer settings via control panel/properties.
I adjusted the print settings to no border and printed out the tree as i wished.
Many thanks for your info
Alan
