Maxsurf prints the contents of the window that is topmost on the screen. Choosing Print from the File menu will display a print preview, allowing you to view the output, page-by-page, on screen.

Use Page Setup, also from the File menu, to adjust the paper size, margins, orientation etc.

When printing a standard view of the design, you will be asked select the scale at which you wish to print. There are a number of default scales but you may also enter your own custom scale factors.

·   Bring the window you wish to print to the front.

·   Choose Print from the File menu.

·   Choose the desired Scale.

·   If the print preview is as required, click the Print Button.

Printing from Maxsurf is straightforward and is usually a matter of setting the Page Setup parameters and selecting Print. If you encounter problems, check that the following have been done.

·   Make sure your printer is connected to the computer.

·   Make sure you have selected a default printer using the Printer control panel

Printing a rendered perspective view is the same as printing a standard view except you will not be prompted for a custom scale.  Rendered perspective views can only be printed on one page.

The image displayed in the print preview window may have some slight differences from the final printed version, this is only due to scaling in the print preview window.
