Prepare your plot for printing
To ensure your plot prints exactly as you want it, you will need to correctly set the printer and paper options. If your printer supports auto-sizing (For example, a properly configured HP
DesignJet printer),
select the Automatically Select Paper Size Based on Plot Size check box to automatically update the paper size each time you edit a setting that
affects plot size. However, for
all other print devices, auto-sizing is unavailable and you need to set up your plotting parameters. Follow these steps:
- From the Seismic
Menu bar, select Print
| Print Seismic to open the Print Seismic dialog box.
- Next to the Printer Name field, click <...>
to open the Print
dialog box, and select the printer you want to use.
- Next
to the Paper Size field, click
<...> to open the Page Setup dialog
box, where you can select a page size and orientation that will accommodate the plot size.
