Note that if the image does not fit the usable print area it will be scaled down to make it fit. The actual image scale depends on the image grabber used and is in any case not of much importance because the magnification of intraoral video images depends on the distance from the camera to the tooth and thus varies widely from image to image. 54 Dimaxis User's Manual DICOM PRINT 7 DICOM PRINT You can print the opened image with a DICOM compatible printer by clicking the DICOM Print button on the upper toolbar or selecting the DICOM Print command from the DICOM pulldown menu.
