Open a file.  This file can be either a data file or a file which contains a color look up table.  Several file formats are available... See “File Formats” for more information.

Page Setup…
Standard Macintosh™ Page Setup dialog box.  This configures only the active data window.

Print Window

NOTE:  If you have a PostScript™ laser printer you must have the LaserWriter™ driver greater or equal to version 6.0.  If you do not, see your local Apple dealer and ask for one.
