SP: How can I print charts and data with wider margins

Revision Date: 2005-09-12

Problem:

My charts and data print too close to the edge of the page. How do I set wider page margins?

Solution:

If your charts are printing too close to the edges of the page, you can edit the SQCWIN30.INI file. To do this:

1. If you are running SQCpack for Windows, exit the program.

2. Use a text editor, such as MS Notepad to open C:WINDOWS\SQCWIN30.INI (If windows is installed on another drive, specify the drive on which windows is installed.)

3. Find the section near the bottom of SQCWIN30.INI called [EGS] and change the following four lines:

LeftMargin=.5
RightMargin=.5
TopMargin=.5
BottomMargin=.5

If these lines exist and you want a margin that is greater than .5 inches, change the .5.

Note: Copy the case and spacing exactly. The program will not recognize these commands if there are spaces, or if a different combination of upper and lower case characters is used. the .5 refers to a half inch margin.

4. Save the file. Restart SQCpack for Windows.
