Specifying Document Printers & Templates

Printing Overview | Printing Preferences | Importing Templates | Print Designer

Printers and templates for documents, tags, and labels are specified on the Documents & Printers page of workstation preferences. When specifying templates, make sure you take into consideration your printers capabilities and the size of the printer paper, i.e., do not select a "Letter" sized sales receipt template if using a 40-column receipt printer. You can also change the printer and/or template used each time you print if you set your printing preferences to display the print dialog.

To specify printers and templates in preferences:

1. From the File menu, select P references > Workstation.

2. Select D ocuments & Printers from the left-side preferences menu.

3. From the drop-down lists for each document, tag, and label type:

- Select the printer to be used

- Select a template to use

- Specify the number of copies of the document to print

4. If you want the ability to change printers or templates when printing, select the P rint Options preference page and select the check box for each document type in the Print Dialog section.

Note: When printing tags, labels, and customer orders, the print dialog is always displayed, so no checkboxes are displayed in the list for these document types.

5. Click S ave.

Notes:

- If you have not specified print templates, the first time you go to print in each program area you will be prompted to select a template. The template selected will be saved to your preferences and used from that point on unless changed.

- (Pro) If the default templates do not meet your needs, you can customize them using the Print Designer. Select Print Designer from the Tools menu. If you modify a template and save it with a new name, answer Yes when prompted to make the new template the default for that document type.
