Printing Preferences for the Editor/Debugger

Use printing preferences to specify how printed M-files will look.

Syntax higlighting

This preference specifies how highlighted syntax is printed. The options are:

• Print as black and white text
• Print as colored text
• Print as styled text - Prints in black and white. Comments are italicized and keywords are bold.

Header preference

Check Print header to include a header on the printed page that lists the full pathname for the file, page numbers, and the date and time it is printed.

Font

Use this preference to specify font characteristics for printed M-files. This is especially useful on Windows platforms because a given font size is displayed slightly smaller than the actual size, but is printed at the actual size. Therefore the font in the printed output might look larger than you expected.

To print documents using the same font characteristics as specified for the Editor/Debugger (see Font & Colors Preferences for the Editor/Debugger), select Use editor font.

To print documents with different font characteristics than those specified for the Editor/Debugger, select Use custom font. After selecting this option, specify the font characteristics:

• Type, for example, Lucida Console
• Style, for example, Plain
• Size in points, for example, 12 points
