Info Display File

Printing info.display.txt from a text editor

Copan typically prints lines of up to 100 characters to the info.display.txt file. The best settings to use — to get all the data printed across the page — depend on whether your printer has N. American Letter or International A4 paper, and are as follows (these are Notepad terms and may be slightly different in another editor):

Smaller Font, Portrait Orientation

Format | Font...

Font:	Courier New
Style:	Regular
Size:	9

File | Page Setup...

Paper Size:	Letter (N. America)	A4 (International)
Left and Right Margins:	0.45 inch (or 11 mm)	8 mm (or 0.3 inch)
Orientation:	Portrait	Portrait

If you need to use a larger font size, or larger margins, you'll need to use Landscape Orientation, else you'll probably get messy looking printouts:

Larger Font, Landscape Orientation

Format | Font...

Font:	Courier New
Style:	Regular
Size:	11

File | Page Setup...

Paper Size:	Letter (N. America)	A4 (International)
Left and Right Margins:	0.75 inch (or 19 mm)	28 mm (or 1.1 inch)
Orientation:	Landscape	Landscape

Alternatives to Notepad

If you prefer to use something other than Notepad, there is a way of telling Copan to use that editor (assuming you have it installed) instead:

Open the Points List dialog (via CoordFile | List Points...) or the General Program Settings dialog (via Program | Settings... | General...).
Choose the Other button in Info Display Tool
Enter the full path to or Browse... to the desired text editor executable file. For example, C:\Program Files\MyTexEd\MyTexEd.exe
