In TaekoPlan, all copies to a printer are processed via a report generator. This is given in a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) form. If you use a color printer, even the colors are the same.
The report generator has a number of specific characteristics, that are described below:
Top
This is the margin of the printed page measured from the top edge of the paper to the top edge of the printing area (the printed part of the paper, this is different for each type printer.)
Standard size is 25,4 mm (1 inch.) You can adjust this margin yourself. Click on adjust to generate the report again.
Left
This is the margin of the printed page measured from the left side of the paper to the left side of the printing area. Stardard size is 25,4 mm (1 inch). You can adjust this margin yourself. Click on adjust to regenerate the report.
Bottom
This is the margin of the printed page measured from the underside of the print area to the underside of the paper. Stardard size is 25,4 mm (1 inch). You can adjust this margin yourself. Click on adjust to regenerate the report.
Right
This is the margin of the printed page measured from the right side of the paper to the right side of the print area. Stardard size is 25,4 mm (1 inch). You can adjust this margin yourself. Click on adjust to regenerate the report.
Paper formats
Before beginning printing, the program determines the paper formats available with the printer. These are listed in a box and you can essentially use any paper format.
The standard is type 9 - A4, 210 x 297 mm. This is the format with which most inkjet and laser printers work.
No color impression
If you mark this option, the entire report is printed in black/white. This speeds up the printing for black/white printers because colors are converted to gray tints on a black/white printer. Besides, the readability is greatly improved because especially the light gray tints are difficult to read.
Export
You can save (export) your report in different formats. The formats are:
Report document format (RDF)
This is the standard format of the report generator and can also be read by the same report generator (with the menu option Open). This format can also be used for display on Internet.
HTML Format
The display is exported to HTML. This is readable with every standard internet browser and can also be published on the Internet.
Rich Text Format (RTF, Word)
This format is more familiar, it is supported by Microsoft Word. You can read it in Word, alter it and save it again.
Portable Document Formaat (PDF, Adobe)
The standard for the transfer of electronic documents if PDF. You can display the reports with the Adobe PDF reader. The reader can be downloaded, free of charge from:

Excel (XLS)
This exports to the Microsoft Excel format, so that you can process the report as a worksheet.
Text Formaat (TXT)
This is the standard text export, where by the formatting of the report is not converted. You export only the text.
Fax (TIFF)
This is an export to a format that you can directly send via the fax. The quality is very basic, the use of this, is for now, discouraged.
Viewer
View has a toolbar with a number of extra options for the display:
