in the directory specified in the Output text box in the Directories dialog box. To access this dialog box, select the Directories button from the Preferences dialog box, available from the Options menu. You can override this directory choice by entering a full path name
before the file name in the Print dialog box

Show Groups: Available when printing a Summary control chart to a printer. Enter the
subgroups to display on the printed chart.
Notes for Show Groups option:
- When there is a discontinuous range charted, the omitted groups are not
printed.
- When the first printed group is not specified, the default start group for
printing is the first charted group.
- When the first plotted group extends prior to the first charted group, the
default first group for printing is the first charted group
- When the last printed group is not specified, the default last group for
printing is the last charted group
- When the specified last printed group ends beyond the last charted group, the
x-axis scaling (including center line and control limits) extends beyond the
data range by the number of excess groups (scaled in equal increments to the
printed groups). In this case, the limits (and center line) for the last plotted
group is used for the extended groups

Page Setup: Available when printing to a printer. Selecting this button opens the Page
Setup dialog box for specifying the Top, Bottom, Left and Right margins (in
