Is there any way to make the print out of an Easy Chart display the pen names.  
By default they don’t seem to appear on the printout, so it isn’t possible to tell which pen is which.

Well, you can use the system.print function on a button to print out the window or the easy chart component. Here is an example:`job = system.print.createPrintJob(event.source.parent)
job.setMargins(0.5)
job.showPageFormat = 0
job.print()`You can replace event.source.parent with any component. My example will print the entire window. Hope this helps.

Or you can turn the legend on (“Legend” property under “Layout” category). It will appear in the normal printout.

Thanks for both of those. That should do the trick.
