Page Setup

The page setup area helps you layout your LanFlow diagram for printing and display. You can control paper size, page orientation, and postering. You can change the page layout at any point. However, to minimize the amount of re-organizing of your LanFlow diagram, it's usually best to setup the page layout before constructing your diagram.

Choose Page Setup from the File menu. Use the Page Setup dialog box to change the page layout.

Paper Size


	Select the size of paper that you wish to design your LanFlow diagram for. Choose from the available paper sizes. The list includes all of the paper sizes supported by your printer. You can choose additional paper sizes and in some cases create custom paper sizes by going to the Print Setup screen and selecting a different printer.

Width and Height


	The height and width boxes display the exact size of the paper you have selected. These are for display purpose only.

Poster


	If your LanFlow diagram is too large to fit on one sheet of paper that your printer can print, you may choose to use postering to spread your design onto a grid of pages. Choose the number of rows and columns of pages for your LanFlow diagram. (the maximum number is limited to a total of about 62 inches by 62 inches depending on the paper size).


	There are two common uses for postering. One is simply to add additional pages to your chart and treat each page separately. In this case, you will want to uncheck the “Print crop marks” box. Another use is to create a very large chart of multiple pages which you can design without regard for page boundaries and then printed as a whole. Each page can then be trimmed and attached together to form a large wall poster. For this use, checking the “Print crop marks” box will cause trimming guides to be included on the output for each page.

Margins


	Margins are displayed to show the extents of the printable portion of the page. The margins are for display purposes only. Use the margins to guide where on the page you place objects. Objects placed outside the margins will be truncated or not print at all.

Portrait and Landscape


	Use the portrait and landscape controls to choose page orientation. There's no need to rotate objects to print width-wise or “landscape” on a page - this is done automatically when the page is printed.
