Preview window

The preview window of the Print dialog is intended for geting information about the chosen printing area, printing page allocation and about the printing device characteristics. It works in the following modes:

Map - allows to display a map fragment in a dialog window;

Scheme - allows to display a shaded area appropriate to map fragment intended for printing in a dialog window. This mode is analogue of map mode and also differs by fast updating;

Information - there are displayed the print device characteristics and also a required disk space. The exact size of the output image is not subject for definition, as each device driver forms the printing file in own way (in own language and with various types of optimizations). Thus the required disk space may be a little bit overstated.

The accessible printing page areas are displayed by a dark blue contour in Map and Scheme modes. The assign printing area contour is marked by a red line. The map sheet frameworks are displayed only for orientation (usually black).
