Print Areas
Print areas are non-printable black or white windows that are used to add printable
elements in a design. By default, a print area is placed on every editable side of an object
when a new design is opened. These areas are 57mm wide due to the size of the print head.
Users can enlarge these areas. In that case, the printer will print the design in more than
one stroke. Users may add or remove print areas according their design requirements. To
add a new print area, click on the associated toolbar button for adding print area. The
associated toolbar button is described in toolbar group 1 of section 5.5.6.
Print areas can also be moved up and down to a desired location by clicking on the given
print area and dragging it (drag and hold) with the mouse as well as by using arrow keys on
keyboard. Print areas can be aligned to the top, middle or the bottom of the object by
clicking on the given element alignment buttons in the design toolbar described in toolbar
group 5 in section 5.5.6.
