Water’s Edge Software
File menu: Page Setup
Page Setup
lets you define a number of printing features, such as the
size of paper you print on and the orientation of the document on the
page. Details can be found in your “Macintosh Owner’s Guide.”
Page
Setup
applies to the active window only. The active window must be
a sound file, sequence file, or Sound Catalog. Each file has its own
Page Setup
settings.
Before you print a file the first time, use
Page Setup
to set the
printing features for the active window. These settings are saved with
the file and are used whenever the file is printed.
If you have several printers, or if you switch printers (such as
changing from an ImageWriter to a laser printer), read the section
about
The Chooser
in your “Macintosh Owner’s Guide.”
File menu: Print
Print
lets you print the active window’s file. The active window must
be a sound file, sequence file, or Sound Catalog. When you select
the
Print
command, a dialog appears which lets you set various
printing options on your printer. Your printer’s manual should
describe these options in detail. Click the OK button to start printing.
The print settings are used only for printing, and are not saved as
part of your file.

Tips
…
• If you are using an ImageWriter (or some other dot-matrix printer),
you can achieve a higher quality of printing by selecting a report
font that is twice the size you really want, then reducing the
document by 50% (see
Report Font
in the Edit menu’s
Preferences
for more details). Also, use cut sheets instead of tractor-fed paper
to produce a crisper image.
File menu: Quit
Quit
is used to quit the SP-12 Librarian and return to The Finder. All
open windows are closed. As each window is closed (and only if
changes have been made), a dialog asks you if you want to save the
changes before quitting.
Edit menu: Undo, Cut, Copy, Paste,
Clear
The first five items in the Edit menu, namely
Undo
,
Cut
,
Copy
,
Paste
,
and
Clear
, work as described in your “Macintosh Owner’s Guide.”
File menu: Preferences
You can set various preferences for the SP-12 Librarian. These
settings are remembered and used by the librarian until you change
them. Select a preference by clicking one of the icons along the left
side of the window. The right side shows you the available settings
for the chosen preference. When you close the Preferences window,
all the settings are automatically saved.
Midi Interface
MIDI Interface
is used to tell the SP-12 Librarian about your MIDI
system. The illustration below shows the
MIDI Interface
preference:
The Port icons select which serial port is used (ie: the one that is
connected to your MIDI interface). Most MIDI interfaces operate at
1 MHz. If you are not sure of your interface’s speed, contact the
interface’s manufacturer or the place where you purchased your
interface.
Auto-Open Link
Auto-Open Link
is used to automatically open the SP-12 Link under
certain circumstances (see the Windows menu’s
SP-12 Link
for
details on the link).
Please note that the SP-12 Link does not open when you first start
the SP-12 Librarian, regardless of the setting. The illustration below
shows the
Auto-Open Link
preference:
By selecting the appropriate check box, you can establish the SP-12
Link under any or all of the following conditions…
• After creating a new file
• After opening a sound file
• After opening a sequence file
• After opening a blank or damaged file
• When a command is entered at the SP-12
Note: If you are running a low-end Macintosh, such as a Macintosh
Plus with only floppy disks, then you may have problems with the
“When a command is entered at the SP-12” option. When you enter
a command at the SP-12’s control panel, it sends a “disk status”
command to the SP-12 Librarian. If the librarian does not open the
link and return a status to the SP-12 quickly enough, then the SP-12
assumes that no disk is connected.
If this happens, re-try the command at the SP-12’s control pannel
and the link will be established.
