You can use the printer preferences to select a printer for MapInfo Pro output, which can be separate from your default Windows printer.
To set your printer preferences:
-
On the PRO tab, click Options, and Printer to open the Printer Preferences dialog box.
-
Choose either:
- Windows Default - This displays the path to the default printer specified for your operating system. This is the default setting.
- MapInfo Preferred - This lets you set a different default printer when printing while using MapInfo Pro. This can be a printer or a plotter.
-
If you chose MapInfo Preferred:
- Select the name of the printer, from the Name drop-down list, to use as the default printer.
- Select a paper size from the Size drop-down list, which pre-fills with the paper sizes available for the printer.
- Specify the direction that the paper faces (the orientation). Portrait indicates that the paper is taller than it is wide (as shown in the previous figure); Landscape indicates that the paper is wider than it is tall.
-
Click OK to close the dialog and save your settings.
If you selected Save Printer Information to Workspaces in the startup preferences, then MapInfo Pro saves the printer information and settings to the workspace. To set this preference, on the Options screen, click Startup.
