Headers and Footers
You have the option of adding a header or footer to your printout.
By enabling Print header and footer checkbox, you can activate this function. Each footer is broken into 3 zones. Left, center and right. Select the desired zone then click on the "Header" or "Footer" text area to enter the desired text. If you wish to use automatically generated entries, simply select the item from the "Insert" popup menu and Merlin will insert a tag to the right of the cursor in whichever area the cursor was last active in.
Further customization can be achieved by pressing the "Font…" button. Please note that font changes apply to the entire header and footer.
Possible auto-entries are:
- Title: The title of the project
- Page Count: The total number of pages for this printout
- Page Number: The page number
- Project Image: The project image as entered in the Project settings.
- Print Time: The date/time stamp of the printout
You can adjust die size and transparency of the project image by the use of the according slider.
