Hi,
In PLC IDE 1.0.7 (Win 10), I have tried to print a project (pdf file) for teaching support but I have only "blank" pages.
By "blank" means nothing correct to read. (Too small, only wires or rectangles, ...)
Is it from my side or a bug in PLC IDE 1.0.7 ?
Regards
Check your PLC IDE's printer driver. It sounds like it is configured to "scale to fit" the document to the paper size you are using. Try to find FILE >> PRINT >> (opens printer configuration) >> SCALE >> change "SCALE TO FIT" to "ACTUAL SIZE"
BEWARE: Normal circuit board layouts are printed on table-sized printers, so "ACTUAL SIZE" might produce 20 office-sized pages.
You need to post the printout here so we can see, but my suspicion is it is a wiring diagram so perfectly normal.
What are you expecting to see?
Hi,
Here is pdf printed file, nothing usable or readable.
Test print.pdf (156.1 KB)
Also not possibilities to change Scale or Actual size under "Microsoft print to pdf" printer.
I get the same thing @kalain gets, using PLC IDE 1.0.8.0 build dated 2024-02-23 (a year and a half old???). The black "splotch" at the top looks like a network (rung) number, perhaps, way too big for the space, and the network itself is a tiny thing in the far upper right. The only thing that looks "correct" is the "title block" (but the font is a bit small). I get this print on actual printer (HP 7955) or on MS Print to PDF, letter size, either portrait or landscape.
Also, there are very few things that gives me "any" print output. Print Project is one. Printing the properties window (for things like the I/O mapping) does seem to work nicely.
I'd like to be able to print individual routines for LD, FBD, ST, SFC, plus the sketch routines (to capture IP config).
If someone knows how to print a readable ladder diagram routine document, please let us know how (click by click)!
Thanks!
Dale
