Echoview provides the option to print echograms, cruise tracks, graphs and scenes, filesets, variables and geometry windows.
Echoview also offers the option to export a selection of an echogram or cruise track to an image file or copy a selection to the clipboard for pasting into another application. See Export and Copy to image files.
This page covers:
It is possible to print partial or full echograms with a pre-defined zoom level.
To print the echogram in view:
Bring the echogram window into focus.
On the File menu, click Print.
On the Print Echogram dialog box, click Print Setup and select the orientation and printer.
Click OK to close the Print Setup dialog and return to the Print Echogram dialog.
Choose the Zoom level and pages to print.
Click OK.
The EV filename, date and time of printing, and version of Echoview are automatically printed on echograms.
Notes:
Printing large echograms uses a lot of memory and may take some time.
We highly recommend that a color printer is used for printing echograms. If you do wish to use a monochrome printer, we recommend you first change the color scheme used for the echogram to the "gray" color scheme. The color scheme setting can be changed on the Display page of the Variable Properties dialog.
We recommend that you use a Landscape orientation for printing echograms. Echograms printed with a Portrait orientation will appear elongated in the vertical dimension.

On the File menu, click Print.
Select a printer from the drop-down list.

The area of cruise track that will be printed is the same as the visible area in the cruise track window at the time of printing. Printed cruise tracks will display the same zoom magnification that can be seen on screen. Grid lines, the date and time of printing, the EV filename, the variable name (position variable for GPS fixes cruise tracks and acoustic variable for along-track display cruise tracks) and version of Echoview will also be printed for a cruise track.
