8.4 Printing

You can print a diagram, its list of single failures, the list of common cause failures, and the tables in the Analysis view. The print view looks very different from the normal screen display; the tabs, buttons and other user interface elements will not show up in the printed document.

When using Firefox, the mini-map is reset to the top-left position and single or common cause failures are expanded just before printing. With other browsers, you may have to do this manually. You can use the “Expand all” function before printing.

When printing the diagrams, it is best to set the paper size to A3 and landscape orientation. A4 paper may suffice for smaller diagrams. The Single Failures and Shared Failure views are best printed using portrait orientation. You may need to shrink the printout to make it fit the paper, using the printing features of your web browser.

Make sure that the printing of background colours is enabled in your web browser, otherwise the risk classification indicators will all show as white. The option to print background images is not relevant; the printed document does not contain background images.

You can use the Settings toolbar to set the size of the vulnerability level indicators and choose whether label colours are printed. These setting apply to both the printed and the on-screen version of the intranet tool.
