Printing from the Report Viewer

The Report Viewer supports sending the previewed report to the printer. When you click the Print button on the viewer’s toolbar, the Print Options dialog is displayed. The text below discusses each section of the Print Options dialog.

Current Printer

This text box displays the name of the printer that the report is sent to. The destination printer will have already been selected before the report was previewed and cannot be changed from the report viewer.

The characteristics of the selected printer determine the layout of each page of your report. To print a report to a different printer, the report viewer must be closed and the report regenerated.

Select this checkbox to send the output to a file on disk instead of a printer. You will be prompted to enter a filename and folder location. The format of the file is the standard Windows print to file format.

Use the page range to select the portion of the report that you want to print. You can select:

  • Print all pages
  • A range of pages
  • Only the current page

Copies

Use this box to enter the number of copies to be printed.

Collate

The Collate checkbox indicates whether you want to collate the pages if multiple copies are being printed.

OK

Prints the report using the options you have specified in this dialog.

Cancel

Closes the print options dialog without printing.
