- • Close (Command-W)
-
-
- This command closes the active (front) window.
-
-
-
-
- • Save As…(Command-S)
-
-
- This command saves reports and the manual as text files. If the main
-
- window is active, the report is saved as a TeachText file. If the Help
-
- window is active, the Disinfectant manual is saved as a Microsoft Word
-
- text file. A standard new file dialog appears, asking you to specify the
-
- file’s name and location.
-
-
- These saved text files can be read by most any Mac word processor or
-
- editor. You can change the type of the file (TeachText and Microsoft Word
-
- by default) in the Preferences window.
-
-
-
- You can save a separate report for each disk you scan or you can scan
-
- many disks and save the combined reports as a single file. The latter
-
- option is particularly appropriate when scanning a sequence of floppies.
-
-
- When the manual is saved, only the text from the manual is saved,
-
- without the pictures, and without any of the formatting. The primary
-
- purpose of this feature is to let you save the text so that you can copy
-
- and paste it into newsletter articles or other documents. We grant you
-
- permission to do this, if it is not for profit, and if you give appropriate
-
- credit to the author and to Northwestern University.
-
-
-
- • Page Setup…
-
-
- This command presents an expanded version of the standard page setup
-
- dialog. The extra items in the bottom half of the dialog are used to specify
-
- additional options for a printed report or manual. You can specify the font
-
- and font size, all four margins, and an option to print the pages in reverse
-
- order.
-
-
-
- Disinfectant maintains separate sets of page setup options for printed
-
- reports and the printed manual.
-
-
- Disinfectant supplies reasonable default values for all of these options,
-
- with different default values supplied for LaserWriters and ImageWriters.
-
- Other kinds of printers may be treated as either LaserWriters or
-
- ImageWriters. If you are using some kind of printer other than an Apple
-
- LaserWriter or ImageWriter, you should use the Page Setup command to
-
- check the settings before printing and adjust them appropriately.
-
-
- The maximum permitted font size is 24 points.
-
-
- With large fonts sizes and/or large margins, there may not be enough
-
- printable area on the page for Disinfectant to print properly. In this case,
-
- an alert is presented which informs you of the problem and gives you
-
- advice on how to correct it.
-
-
- In particular, when printing reports using font sizes over 18 points, with
-
- most fonts you will have to use landscape orientation instead of portrait
-
- orientation. This problem should not occur with the printed manual, even
-
- at 24 points, provided you do not increase the default margins.
-
-
- The page setup options are saved in the Disinfectant Prefs file in the
-
- System folder. You only need to set them once; they will be remembered
-
- even when you quit Disinfectant and run it again later. Separate options
-
- are saved for printed reports and for the printed manual.
-
-
-
- • Print… (Command-P)
-
-
- This command is used to print reports and the manual. It presents the
-
- standard print job dialog.
-
-
- If the main window is active, the report is printed. If the Help window is
-
- active, a formatted copy of the Disinfectant manual is printed.
-
-
- The printed version of the manual has a title page, table of contents, page
-
- headers, smart page breaks, and other nice formatting features.
-
- Paragraphs are reformatted to fit the margins specified in the page setup
-
- dialog.
-
-
-
- Printing on a Macintosh without a hard drive is possible, but it requires a
-
- special startup disk. This topic is discussed in detail in the “Special
-
- Features” section.
-
-
-
- • Print One
