The Print Menu allows you to print dubbing charts based on the layout of the clips in your current project.
To set your printer configuration, go to the Setup page (type <esc>S). Changes to this page are made only with the
mouse. Details next page.
When the Prodigy Editor prints a dubbing chart, the length of each clip is not necessarily shown in proportion to its
duration (this is set using Compression - see next page). Instead, it depends on the space needed to display all the
clip information (start timecode, name and end timecode), plus the space needed to show other clips that start or
end while the first one is playing. If many clips start or end during a clip's playback, that clip will be very long in
the printout.

Chart
Press to start printing a
dubbing chart of the se-
lected range.
Determines how page numbers
are shown. If you choose "X of
Y" it will printed like this: Page
3 of 13. This involves an extra
scan of the edit list, and so it
takes longer for printing to start.
Notes
1.
Dubbing chart printing always takes a range.
2.
Dubbing charts print only the selected tracks. The durations of clips on the non-selected tracks are, however,
taken into account, so you can print 12 tracks in one pass and the other 12 in another pass, and the two
prints will join side by side to make one large display. This may spread your dub chart more than desired, so
to prevent this from happening, deselect and disable the tracks that you do not want involved in any way in
the print process.
4.
To stop printing, type <ctrl-Q>. Then press the Kill Que Soft Key.
5.
Any Epson-compatible printer can be used, but the Prodigy Editor uses a serial protocol, so some printers,
such as the Canon Bubble Jet range, require a serial interface board to talk to the Prodigy Editor.
6.
To split the name of a clip include an ellipsis (...) in its name. The first part will print at the top of the clip
and the second part at the bottom.
