Printing 2 frontpanels on one sheet

[Matthias Ruppel]

I want to print front panels in lv 5 eg. 6i without a form feed, to print two or three front panels on one sheet of paper. is there a possibility to do this in labview?

[Joe_Guo]

no, it is not possible in labview(well, not true, it might be possible through vi server after some programming, such as running a separate or subVI). however, some printers offer you the ability to print multiple sheet on one page, if your printer does not, then there is a shareware printer utility called fineprint, which will give you much more control on what and how to print documents. As long as I know, the print functionality offered by labview is very limited and not customizable.

It will require a little bit of programming, but you can use the VI
Server to get the Panel Image for the VIs that you want to print. The
value returned is bitmap info, not as high quality as a printout, but
the same as the Print Panel or screen capture results. With the bitmap
info, you can display them in the picture control one on top of the
other and print the VI containing the picture control.
