3.8 Printing

QuiteInsane supports printing of images and text. It supplies its own print dialog for printing images. This dialog gets invoked if you are scanning using the Copy/Print mode, or if you select "Print image..." in the image viewer. Text printing is done through Qts standard print dialog.

On the left side of this dialog you can see the image size, and a WYSIWYG preview of the image you are going to print. The red dash lines represent the current margin settings.

On the right side you can make the following adjustments:

Scaling

  1. Free
    The image is scaled according to the scale factor. The size also depends on the pixel size of the image and the resolution values.
  2. Maximum size
    The image is scaled to the maximum paper size; the aspect ratio is kept, if the "Keep aspect ratio" checkbox is selected, otherwise the image is scaled to the full papersize. The margin settings are ignored.
  3. Margin size
    This works almost like the previous mode, with the difference, that the margins are not ignored.

Margins

Please note, that for most printers margins are mandatory.

Image resolution

As mentioned above, the size of the printed image depends on the pixel size and on the resolution. If you are scanning using the Copy/Print mode, the resolution settings are taken from the current settings in the main window (resolution option), if possible. If you select the "Bind values" checkbox, the y resolution spinbox is disabled, and the x resolution value is used for both resolution values.
