Printing Front Panel is blank

[taletale]

Hello,

I created a vi and i am trying to print front panel. But when I print, The printed page is always blank. I tried to make mass compile but it doesn't work.

I don't want to recreate front panel, because it is very huge and complex front panel. I can't do that.

Is there any solution ?

Thanks for help

How are you attempting to print the front panel? Using the File menu selection or programatically?

Hi,

I am trying to print programatically with Easy Print VI Panel or doc.vi.

I also tried to print with File>print diolag. When I preview I see half of the front panel. But I print this prewiev It also prints blank.
(I am also settting frontpanel origin 0,0 when vi runs.)

I am working on print bmp files at the moment

Thanks

If you are seeing the problem printing from the file menu I wouldn't think that the front panel origin would be an issue since the print dialog prints everything that is visible on the front panel.

Have you tried printing to a different kind of printer, like a PDF generator?

Yes, I tried. But It prints blank page, I see just  borders

Do you know How to print bmp file to printer ?

Are you wanting to print the bmp from with in your program? If so you can use the report generation VIs, specifically Append Image to Report.vi will place your bmp into a report which you can then print out. However, to save a step there is a VI in the report generation VIs that will place a front panel image in a report.
