Preset Header and Footer

Preset Headers and Footers allow System Administrators to establish a set of named Print Settings for Prizm Viewer to utilize when printing pages.

Configuration

Administrators are required to make direct edits to their configuration INI file to define preset header and footer print settings and identify the starting preset name.

The starting preset is defined in the INI Preferences section under the Preset Header/Footer name.

Setting	Default Value	Notes
Preset Header/Footer		The name of the selected preset header/footer printer settings.

Each preset header and footer is defined in its own uniquely-named INI section, prefixed with the string “Preset Header/Footer\”. The Unicode text that follows this prefix is the preset name.

Preset names may not exceed 256 characters.

The following print settings can be defined for each preset:

Setting	Default Value	Notes
Print Header/Footer Text Size	12	Double as string. This value represents the font size for the header/footer text
Print Footer 1		The first line of the footer, printed on each page when printing
Print Footer 2		The second line of the footer, printed on each page when printing
Print Footer 3		The third line of the footer, printed on each page when printing
Print Header 1		The first line of the header, printed on each page when printing
Print Header 2		The second line of the header, printed on each page when printing
Print Header 3		The third line of the header, printed on each page when printing

Example

The following INI example defines two presets, “Standard” and “Alternative”:

	Copy Code
[Preferences] Preset Header/Footer=Alternative [Preset Header/Footer\Standard] Print Header 1=Country Print Footer 1=%filename, page %pgnum Print Footer 2=%date %time Print Header/Footer Text Size=14 [Preset Header/Footer\Alternative] Print Header 1=Western Print Footer 1=%filename, page %pgnum Print Footer 2=%date %time Print Header/Footer Text Size=14

Effects on Prizm Viewer

Customized Prizm Viewer installations that define one or more preset header/footers will behave as follows:

When the Print button is clicked, the Choose Preset Header/Footer modal dialog is shown with the most recently used preset selected.
When the Cancel button is clicked, the Choose Preset Header/Footer dialog is closed, and the print operation is aborted.
When the OK button is clicked, the Choose Preset Header/Footer dialog is closed, and the Print dialog is shown. The Header/Footer property page is initialized to the header and footer print settings recovered for the chosen preset. All Header/Footer property page controls are disabled to prevent modification.

Presets cannot be created, updated, or deleted except by updating the Configuration file and reinstalling Prizm Viewer.
