The Print command sends the current page report layout to the printer/plotter. In this dialog, the user selects options that determine how the image fits on the paper including paper sizes and rotation, and whether the pages will be printed in color or black and white (if available).
- From the File
menu, select Print, or from
the Common toolbar select
. - Verify that the desired printer and media are displayed in the Where section of the Print Report dialog. To change the printer or media, click the Print Setup button. Printers that can print color will allow the selection of Color or Black and White for printing.
- Select Pages To Print - Three options are available for selection:
- All Pages (Excluding Master Page) – This option prints all pages except for the Master page (if existing); page numbering and number of pages are adjusted accordingly. This option is the default.
- Current Page Only – This option prints the current (displayed) page only. The Master page will be printed as Page M of <Total Pages>; all other pages will be printed as Page # of <Total Pages> (i.e., pages retain their current page number).
- Pages (Excluding Master page) – This option allows the user to specify an individual page or ranges of pages. For example: 1,4-6 would print pages 1,4,5,6. Pages will retain their current page number unless the Renumber option is selected. For example: Report consists of 5 pages and you select to print pages 1,3,5. The pages will be printed as Page 1 of 5, Page 3 of 5, and Page 5 of 5. If you select to Renumber, the pages will print as: Page 1 of 3, 2 of 3, and 3 of 3.
- The Master page (if existing) will NOT be printed and is not included in the total page count with the Print All Pages and Print Pages options. To print a Master page you can either: click on the Master Page and select the Print Current Page Only option; or toggle the Master page off, making it a normal page, and then select any of the available print options.
- Indicate the number of report copies desired.
- The number of pages that will be printed is based on the specified Page Size and Orientation and the selected Printer Paper Size and Orientation. If the current Paper Size does not match the current Page Size, the output may be printed across several additional pages. To change the number of pages that will be printed, select a different Paper Size.
- Preview the report by clicking the Print Preview button. Scroll through the individual pages with the slide-show controls on the ride side of the Print Preview dialog. If you like the output, click the Print button. Otherwise, click the Cancel button to return to the Print dialog.
- Click OK to print the page according to the current settings. You may also print from the Print Preview dialog box.
