Specify Printer Selection for Reports

You can set up reports so that they must be printed on a specific printer. The following are some uses of printer selection:

You can print reports on special company letterhead.
You can print reports on different paper sizes.
You can print reports on the default printer of a specified employee.

You use the Printer Selections window to set different values to obtain different output. If you set a specific printer selection, then it takes precedence over a more general printer selection. For example, you can set a printer selection that has values in the User ID, Report ID, and Printer Name fields. This printer selection takes precedence over a printer selection that has blank entries in the User ID or Report ID fields.

The following table describes the combination of values to specify when you set up printer selections for a report.
