Hello everybody, when my students print their SMath files it appeares that some of the printouts does not show the arithmetic operator fro multiplication "*" but instead the "|" line instead. I did install the program from USB-stick, so all laptops have the same version. After install we did not alter any setups. And all Laptops print 2 the same printer. And further are all laptops of the same type/modell including OS (Win10). Any suggestions, why some prints show the arithmetic operator and others not...?

I cannot speak to the whether the printing issue is SMath or Printer related, but a possible workaround might be to save as a ".pdf" extension using File->Save As and choosing PDF under "Save as type:" drop down. You could then print the PDF version of the document.
Not ideal, but it may work if no other solution can be found. |

Hello. Originally Posted by: DirkOS when my students print their SMath files it appeares that some of the printouts does not show the arithmetic operator fro multiplication "*" but instead the "|" line instead. What SMath Studio version are you using? What DPI are you using in printer setup? Is this issue is applicable for "*" only? Please try vector multiplication, boolean equal, parentheses and sum()/prod() functions. Please try to instal PDF plug-in from Extensions Manager and try to save as PDF afterwards. What will you see in the output PDF file? I need this info to start evaluation. Thanks in advance! Best regards, Andrey Ivashov.

Also, if I understand correctly and with same program and same printer you have different printing results, check for differences in the printer options in each PC; in some printers there is a "replace font" option to deal with true type fonts (see here or here for reference) |
If you like my plugins consider to support SMath Studio buying a plan; to offer me a coffee: paypal.me/dcprojects |
