Printing and Previewing

Previous pageReturn to chapter overviewNext page

BeerSmith lets you print or preview your work as you go.  This includes most tools, the profile, ingredient and recipe folder views.

 

Note on Margins and Print Settings: BeerSmith actually uses two different systems for printing.  The profile, ingredient and recipe folder views and preview reports, which are typically in HTML or text format are printed using your internet browser.  On Windows, BeerSmith uses an Internet Explorer plugin for more flexibility with HTML reports.  A second system is used to print dialogs.  On Windows, you can drag the margins for HTML reports from the print preview dialog.  The other printouts do not have adjustable margins at this time.
