Help for Program Setup
@
This Selection is available for customizing
program parameters. You can set up reverse
displays for Laptop computers, modify the
pause time between moves for auto-play and
establish the scaling factors for the board
print size.
@
Setting the field Laptops to 1 will reverse
the colors for the board squares and piece
colors.
@
The Pause field is in seconds. Any value
between 0 and 99.
@
The Scaling factors can be a value between 101
and 9999. Although it is best never to drop
below 750 as the print resolution starts
desintegrating rapidly. To get a good print
ratio, normally set the Y scaling factor
to approximately 150 higher than you do for
the X factor. However this may vary from
printer to printer. You may want to experiment
in this area for your best setting. The lower
the factors, the smaller the print.
