Printing Options
The printing options give you control when printing reports. Usually,
to print a report, you open the menu for the report and click the report
name. Next,
a window containing selection options appears to allow you to specify
which data to include in the report. At
the bottom of the window, you will see several printing options, which
are described below.
Tips:
In some
programs, you can print a single record at a file maintenance window by
clicking the following print icon:

You can
choose to preview a report using Print View,
a flexible tool that shows the report to you online.
To define
the Windows™
default printer for your computer, see Printer
Setup.
Note: The
default printer is used only
when you print a report using Print View. See
Printer Number in the table below for more information.
To determine
if you want to see a Windows™
prompt for the default printer each time you print from Print View, set
the System Parameter at the Print
Tab.
Note: This
parameter has no bearing on reports printed without using Print View.
For more
information about printing specific reports, refer to the Reports Overview
and click the appropriate report name to display the WebHelp topic.

Displays the default Printer
Number. The
assignment of each printer number varies among installations.
Tips:
The default
number may be different for your user ID.
Note: If
you change the Printer Number, it reverts back to the default value when
you exit the module. Printer
Number 5 usually launches the Print View
window when you click the Print
button. Any Printer
Number, other than the Print View Printer Number, overrides the Windows™ default printer.
You will
not see a Windows™
printer prompt when you click the PRINT
button. |
