Commodore Amiga - SCREEN POSITION

• Shade lets you select color printing, gray-scale printing (where
colors are
represented by different shades of gray), or
black-and-white printing (where some colors are printed as pure
black, and others as pure white. Whether a color is printed as
black or white is determined by the threshold value described
below.)
•
Aspect lets you select whether to print normally or "sideways"
on the page. Select Horizontal to print "normally," so that what
appears on the top of the display appears along the top edge of
the printer paper. Select Vertical to print what appears on the
top of the display along the side of the printer paper.
• Image lets you print an image as it appears on the display (by
selecting Positive) or
"reversed" (by selecting Negative). This
setting affects only black-and-white
and gray scale printing.
•
Threshold, for black-and-white printing, lets you determine
which colors are printed as white, and which as black. You
change the Threshold setting by dragging the arrow in the slider
below
the label Threshold. When the setting for Image is
Positive and the Threshold setting is 2, only the darkest color on
the display is printed as black, while the rest is white. Increasing
the value of the Threshold setting causes more colors to be
printed as black. As you increase the setting, the lighter colors
are printed as black.
When the setting for Image is Negative, the higher the
Threshold setting, the lighter are the colors that are printed as
black.
Note that not all these choices apply to all printers. For example,
letter-quality printers that use a "daisy wheel" printhead can only produce
one quality of printing. To find out what selections apply to your printer, see
the documentation provided with the printer.
When you're done making selections for your printer, select OK to confirm
your selections or Cancel to cancel them. Selecting either OK or Cancel
returns you to the Change Printer Screen.
