A "full" spectrum is one that covers chemical shifts from -0.5 to about +10 ppm. Nearly all protons produce signals in this range, so the presence (and absence) of signals in this range is very meaningful.
Chemistry computer lab printing tips: I have printed from SpinWorks using my office computer and my office printer, but I have not had the same luck in the Chemistry computer lab. At this point in time (Oct 2005), it is necessary for computer lab users to print their SpinWorks spectrum indirectly. This can be done in multiple ways: by "printing" a PDF file and then making a hard copy of the PDF file, or by transferring the data to MS Word and making a hard copy of the Word document. All three printing options, direct printing (not possible in the computer lab), printing via PDF, and printing via Word, are described below. Use whatever works at your location.
Option #1: direct printing from SpinWorks (from sites outside the Chemistry computer lab):
Tutorial note: This ends the step-by-step guide through the tutorial. At this point, you can choose between the following: save your data and quit SpinWorks, or add more data to your spectrum (peak picks, integrals, inset boxes) and print expanded spectra. To get instructions for the latter, select a section from the Table of Contents.
Option #2: printing via CutePDF Writer + Foxit Reader (in the Chemistry computer lab):
To print on the lab printer, you must first create a PDF file by "printing" your spectrum with CutePDF Writer. Then you need to log in to the lab printer (Clab), open the PDF file in Foxit Reader, and print the PDF file from Foxit Reader. You are billed for your printing on Clab, so make sure you log out of the computer after you are done using SpinWorks (otherwise the next user will be able to charge their printing to you).
It might be a good idea to save your PDF file (you can email it to yourself) so that you can print and/or adjust it later as needed.

At this point, you can choose between the following: save your data and quit SpinWorks, or add more data to your spectrum (peak picks, integrals, inset boxes) and print expanded spectra.

Option #3: printing via MS Word (in the Chemistry computer lab)
To print on the lab computer, you must log in to the printer (Clab), start MS Word and setup the page, copy data from SpinWorks to MS Word, and then print the MS Word document. You are billed for your printing on Clab, so make sure you log out of the computer after you are done using SpinWorks (otherwise the next user will be able to charge their printing to you).
It might be a good idea to save your Word file so that you can print and/or adjust it later as needed.
Tutorial note: This ends the step-by-step guide through the tutorial. At this point, you can choose between the following: save your data and quit SpinWorks (don't forget to log out of the computer so that you are not billed for more printing), or add more data to your spectrum (peak picks, integrals, inset boxes) and print expanded spectra. To get instructions for the latter, select a section from the Table of Contents.
