Print trend display without black background
Hi,
Is it possible to make printing of trend display with white background when the background of trend display is configured to black?
The reason is to save toner when printing, and in the same time to keep the black background on display, for better visualization.
800xA ver. 6.0.3.2 - tried with change in printercolors.map file without success.

Hello,
Yes its possible to print trend with white background.
You have to change this settings independently on each node and refresh the workpalce.
perform this settings by opening the printercolors.map in notepad (path x86 programfiles/ABB 800xA/Base/config)
copy the below settings at the top of the page and save as notepad.

If you want to modify the printout color for a trend display open the file
C:\Program Files\ABB Industrial IT\Operate IT\Process Portal A\config\
printercolors.map in notepad and follow the instructions.

Hello,
Your trend background is configured as Black and with changed printercolors.map file you can change the Black color to transparent when printing.
However, which ones are in Black go away as well such as text or line then make your printed copy bad-looking. that's my experience.
The better way is as my previous post:

=======================================
I realized that in system 800xA, there is a default background color (dark Green) which will be automatically get out when printing.
I just changed the background color of Trend Template to that color with some customized Axis colors to get my expectation.
=======================================
Hope it useful to you.
