If printing takes a long time and disk activity is high, please note the following: The picture for the
printing is first built in the memory, but it may need quite a lot of memory if the printer resolution is
high and therefore Windows 9x makes intense virtual memory swapping to disk if for example
only 8 MB RAM are available. Therefore it is recommended: never use a 600 dpi printer driver for
the printout of spectra. For example for an HP Laser 4, install the PCL driver and use 300 dpi. The
PCL driver is also much more effective than a Postscript driver, printing is much faster. With
600 dpi, the maximum figure size is indeed limited to about 12 cm x 7 cm (Windows 9x cannot
handle on an easy way bitmaps larger than 16 MB). For Windows 2000/XP these restrictions do
not apply.

Region Menu
The Region menu contains commands for Regions and ROIs (Regions of Interest). A Region can
be defined by marking it in a display, with the mouse using the right mouse button and dragging a
rectangle over the area one is interested in. A ROI, i.e. an already defined region in a single
spectrum can be shown zoomed by double-clicking with the left mouse button on the
corresponding colored area in the bar at the bottom of the spectra display. A single mouse click
with the left button on the corresponding colored area makes this to the active ROI and lets the
counts contained in this ROI be displayed in the information lines of the respective window.
