Notes on Printing

From Citrix
Once you have created or edited a powerpoint slide, you may print it to one of the transparency printers (psc1, psc2, or psc4). In Powerpoint, choose File --> Print. In the Name dialogue box, scroll down to "\\TARN\PSfile". Make sure the box in the lower left corner labelled "Black & White" is unchecked. Click OK. Choose the directory you wish to save the file to and choose a file name (example: m82_color). The extension ".prn" (meaning "printer file") will be added to the end of your filename. In the Solaris operating environment, bring up a terminal window. Type the command

cprint -dpsc1 -transparency file.prn

Note: When you print from Citrix, the viewgraph tends to come out uncentered. To fix this, press control-a (which will select all) and then use your right arrow key to push the objects to the right 3 or 4 spaces.

From PC
Once you have created or edited a powerpoint slide, you may print it to one of the transparency printers (psc1, psc2, or psc4). In Powerpoint, choose File --> Print. In the Name dialogue box, scroll down to "psc1" (or other transparency printer). Make sure the box in the lower left corner labelled "Black & White" is unchecked. Next, click on the "Properties" button on the upper right of the dialogue box. Under "Paper Source" choose "Transparency" & click OK. Press OK in the original dialogue box.

Note: You can also click on the Print button () located in the Standard toolbar to bring up the print dialogue boxes.
