Printing visual fields

For medical reports and similar situations PeriData has a comprehensive printing function. The print command is given out of an active visual field window (Series, Single, Left-Right or Rrend). The currently displayed visual fields are printed, i.e. when printing in the Left-Right window, the left and right visual fields are printed. The IMAGE types on the printout are selected via a print format; the current image display on the monitor has no influence.

Every visual field window has a print button. The print command can also be given using keys or the menu:

Keys: CTRL + P
Menu: Database > Print
Context menu: Print

This window opens after the print command.

Printer > Name: select the printer from the list
