Table 6-4: Setting print specifications for reports
Setting Description
Document Name Specify a name to be used in the print queue to identify the
report.
Printer Name Specify the name of a printer to which this report should be
sent. If this box is empty, the report is sent to the default
system printer. If the specified printer cannot be found, the
report is sent to the default system printer if the Can Use
Default Printer check box is selected. If the specified
printer cannot be found and the Can Use Default Printer
check box is not selected, an error is returned.
Margins Specify top, bottom, left, and right margins. You can also
change margins in the Preview view while you are actually
looking at data. If you change margins in the Preview view,
the changes are reflected here on the Print Specifications
page.
Paper Orientation Choose one of the following:
• Default: Uses the default printer setup.
• Portrait: Prints the contents of the report across the
width of the paper.
• Landscape: Prints the contents of the report across the
length of the paper.
Paper Size Choose a paper size or leave blank to use the default.
Paper Source Choose a paper source or leave blank to use the default.
Prompt Before Printing Select to display the standard Print Setup dialog box each
time you make a print request.
Can Use Default
Printer
Clear this check box if a printer has been specified in the
Printer Name box and you do not want the report to be sent
to the default system printer if the specified printer cannot
be found. This box is checked by default if a printer name
is specified.

Clip Text Select to clip static text to the dimensions of a text field
when the text field has no visible border setting. The text is
always clipped if the text field has visible borders.

print time because the print operation is repeated to
produce collated sets.
