12 Printing the Sequencer
Documenting the Program
After you have created the sequential control system, you can print it out at any
time to create your documentation. The printout is either according to the settings
or the content of the active window is printed. The display level and zoom factor set
for the active window are taken into account in the printout.
You can modify the page layout to suit your purposes and check it in the print
preview. You can adapt the following:
• Display level and zoom factor
• Header and footer of the printed page
• Page format
Appearance of the Printout
If you have a multi-page printout, references to the adjacent pages are printed at
the margins of the pages to allow better orientation. References to previous and
following elements are also printed if, for example, consecutive steps or steps and
transitions are split on two pages due to a form-feed.
To improve clarity, the start of a transition can be printed right-aligned and the
action block left-aligned. There is adequate clearance between sequencer paths.
Pages with no content are not printed.
Requirements for Printing
The S7-Graph print function will already be familiar to you from other Windows
applications. Before you can print, the printer must be installed and initialized using
the Windows Control Panel.
Appearance of the Printout
In the "Print" dialog box, you can select the content of the current printout.
• Current View: The view of the FB as selected in the working area is transferred
to the printer.
• According to Settings: Regardless of the current display, the settings you made
in the "Print" tab page of the "Application Settings" dialog box are used.
