Report Printing & Display Options

Report Printing & Display Options

There are a variety of display and print options available. Printing reports always previews the report to the screen first. This is called the Report Preview. You can preview the report, select specific pages for printing, if appropriate, print the report or cancel. In Report Preview, you can also tile pages and zoom to enlarge and reduce display size.

Zoom Options
You can Zoom the preview from Page Width to a 300% enlargement. Using the Zoom Icon, you can click between two-sized images.

Whoops! The printing looks funny and is not spaced right in the display. What's happening?
If the printing in Preview mode looks like a bad fit, changing the Zoom size to 100% will usually correct the problem.
The smaller font sizes will sometimes distort the display. This will not impact the hardcopy paper print out.

Tile Mode
One of the Zoom Options is Tile Mode. Tile Mode will display multiple pages at one time. Select Tile Mode, after the first page is displayed, click on the Across Arrow in the page number to display the 2nd and 3rd pages. The image below shows three pages displayed across. The pages will be displayed vertically if you choose the Down Arrow.

How to Print
Select the Printer Icon to print the entire document, or select File, Pages to Print, to print a selected range of pages. The default number of pages in the report appears in the Pages to Print box.
