25.1. Saving a Report in Archive (ZRF) Format
Preview screen > Save Archive
The Report Generator can save a report as an archive ZRF file, which cannot be changed after
it is saved. Archive format lets you distribute the report file while ensuring the integrity of the
data. The file can be opened by the Report Generator or the Archive Reader and viewed or
printed. To save a report in archive format, click Save Archive. In the Save Archive dialog
box, select the subdirectory, type the file name, then click Save. Reports are saved in the
folder last opened, unless a different folder is selected.
25.2. Printing a Report
Preview screen > Print
To print the report displayed, click Print; in reports with more than one section, to print only
the currently selected tab, click Print Current or, to print the entire report, click Print. When
the Print dialog box appears, select the pages to print, the number of copies, and the printer
setup. To print a single page, do not select Current Page. Instead, select Pages and type the
page number in the box.
25.3. Opening an Archive File
Preview screen > Open Archive
You can open an archive ZRF file to compare data before saving a currently open report. To
open and display an archive file, click Open Archive, select the subdirectory and file name,
then click Open. Use the toolbar buttons to change the page size and view different pages. To
print the report, click Print. To close the file, click the Close button. Archive files cannot be
changed.
25.4. Archive Reader Program
The Archive Reader, distributed with the Report Generator, is used to view and print ZRF
files when the Report Generator program is unavailable. It is typically sent with archive files
when these files are sent to locations that do not have the Report Generator. You may freely
copy and distribute the Archive Reader when required. The Report Generator is a licensed
product and may not be duplicated for multiple site use. You may download the Archive
Reader from the Albér Web site at www.alber.com and copy it to a CD for distribution with
ZRF files.
