Figure 76 Print Map Dialog Box

■Selecting the Print the currently visible area option will reproduce exactly what is displayed on the screen in the printed output. This means that if your map is zoomed out far enough that device labels are not shown, they will not be included in the printed output.

■Selecting the Print the whole map option will print out the whole of the currently viewed submap, zoomed so that it will fit onto the printed page. Depending upon the size of the currently viewed submap, this also may result in the device labels not being visible in the printed output.

■If the currently visible map has a background image specified in it then you may include this in the print out by checking the Print background image checkbox.

If you require a printout that includes the devices labels, 3Com recommends that you export the map for use in Microsoft® Visio®, and use Microsoft® Visio® to print the map.

Background Images Each submap and the top-level map in the grouped network view, and the top-level map of the ungrouped network view can be configured to display a background image behind the map items that it contains.

To set a background image for the currently viewed map, select View >
