To print a map

1.You need to set and fix a print frame first. You can also add a logo, header and footer.

2.Click the Headers & Footers button if you'd like to adjust the way the printed map will look before actually printing it. Click the Cancel button if you wish to return to the map without applying the headers and footers to go back to the map.

3.Click the Print button.

The Print dialog box will appear.

You can check the cost and print scale under the Map Details heading.

4.Select the printer you would like to use to print.

If you have a pdf creator installed on your computer you can choose that in order to create a pdf file. You can then easily email it to other people.

5.You can choose to print more than one copy by increasing the number shown in the Number of Copies box. Please note, that if you do not have a Paper Map Copy Licence additional copies on either the Detail or VML Raster layers are subject to a reprint charge.

6.If you are unsure if you are connected to the printer correctly you can check by clicking the Test Print tick box. When you click Print, a test print will be printed free of charge. A test print will only print user drawn features, not mapping information.

7.Click OK.

8.The Enter Expenditure Details box will appear to warn you that you are about to do a chargeable action. Enter a Project and Reference for your map print and this will be entered in to your accounting files. For more information on expenditure details go to Enter Expenditure Details.

Note

When printing a hybrid, you will be charged the combined price of a MasterMap print and an aerial photograph print. To avoid paying both charges, print from either the Detail map, or switch to the Aerial Mapping Layer.

9.Click OK.

10.The Save Map dialog box will appear on your screen.

All Detail maps printed through Promap include a 12 month licence. Once that period has ended, if you wish to print the map again you will be charged. Once you have paid for the initial print any further copies you print within the twelve month licence period will either cost you a nominal amount or will be free if you have an Ordnance Survey Paper Map Copying Licence. We strongly recommend that you save your map now to avoid paying a first print charge again within the twelve month licence period.

All Detail maps printed through Promap will automatically contain a North Point in the top right hand corner, as well as the scale of the map and a scale bar at the bottom.

See the Saving chapter if you need help saving your map.

11.Once you've clicked Save or Cancel, the map will print.
