There are numerous ways to produce a hardcopy of your workstation screen, from platform-specific programs that create a bit-mapped image to photographing the screen. One of the available methods is the Print utility provided with Patran. It is designed to be flexible and easy to use.

Patran provides user control over creating hardcopy output from within the Print forms. Refer to File>Print, 225 for a description of these forms. The device-dependent hardcopy file varies depending on the specific hardcopy device requirements. Refer to Device-dependent Hardcopy File, 765.
