Print Tab

Printing Headers and Footers

Both headers and footers can be up to 30000 characters long, without any tabs nor line breaks. The full text have to fit in a single line, otherwise the information will not be read properly.

If a header or footer is printed, the top or bottom margins may be set accordingly, leaving enough space for the header and/or footer.

The header is positioned so that it's bottom edge is directly above the print job text, between the page edge and the value specified as Print Margin Top.   This is true regardless of the amount of text.   Thus if there is too much text, the early text will disappear off the top of the page.   The user needs to insure that the Top Margin is set adequately.

The footer is positioned so that it's top is directly below the print job text, between the page edge and the value specified as Bottom Margin. In this case, excessive text will flow off the bottom of the page.
The user needs to insure that the Bottom Margin is set adequately.   Again, the MarginHeight attribute can be used to control the spacing at the top of the footer,separating the footer from the page text.

Tabs and Returns cannot be used.

The HTML code can have embedded images. The page number can be printed inside printing headers/footers. See the <!--#PN--> Include pseudo tag.

If you don't know how to write HTML code, create it with your preferred HTML editor, then switch to souce code view and copy from there the source code that goes in the header or footer.

The following example will print as a BOLD, CENTERED line.

<P align=center><b>Example of header/footer</b></P>

Print Table Background Allow Printing
Enables the table background color to be printed. Printing will be enabled only if this option is selected (it is selected by default).
Disable Print Screen Key Print only after registering the Ebook
Although it is not possible to block all programs from capturing the computer screen, this option will disable the keyboard PrintScrn key while the Ebook is running, to avoid users pasting in other programs HyperMaker Ebooks screens. Printing will not be allowed until the Ebook is registered.
Print always selected frame instead Main frame
If unselected the Main frame (defined in Interface Tab) will be always printed, no matter which frame is selected.
Disable Printing to PDF/XPS files (only LPT, COM and USB ports will be enabled)

If selected, only local (not network) printers, connected to ports LPT, COM or USB will be enabled, therefore printing to PDF/XPS files will not be allowed.
Message or HTML document to show when printing is not allowed.

Footer/Header page text offset:

This option sets the space between Printing Headers/Footers and the text in the page; values are in pixels. 0 is the default value.

Note that also the MarginHeight attribute (<body> tag) can be used to set the spacing at the bottom of the header text, between the header and the document text; values are in pixels.

Printing Margins
They should be set in centimeters. There is a MACRO that allows the ebook reader to modify the printing margins.
