Setting Printing Options - Beckman Coulter Cytomics FC 500 User Manual

Setting Printing Options

Purpose: Turn on/off printing of FlowPages. Some users wish to have these printouts;
others do not.
1. Printing preferences are controlled in the Workspace Preferences. To get to this,
click File, then Workspace Preferences, or press CTRL+W.
2. Workspace Preferences are NOT linked to a protocol; they are linked to a User.
This means if a person sets the Preferences but the Preferences are changed by
another individual logged in as the same User, the Preferences originally set by
the first person will not be present when he/she opens his/her desired protocol.
3. Click on the Acquisition Options tab in the "Workspace Preferences" window.
4. To print the FlowPage, check the box next to Print FlowPages. To prevent
printing, uncheck the box.
5. If a sample has already been run but printing was not turned on, it is possible to
manually print the FlowPage.
a. Click File, then Print.
b. In the bottom-left, ensure that nothing but FlowPages is selected for
printing (i.e. NOT histograms, plots, etc.)
c. Click OK.
6. If a FlowPage has not been created for a protocol and printouts of the plots are
desired, follow step 3 above, and in step 4 click the box next to Print Plots.****
7. A way to save paper yet have a record of the results from the plots is to NOT
print, but instead save the FlowPage as a PDF. This option is reached by
following step 3 above, and in step 4 checking the box next to Print to PDF.****
