Generating Print output

Print output can only be generated from the Designer when a data set is available (see Loading data). The Designer merges all sections in the Print context (see Print context) with the data set, and generates the output using those data values.

To generate Print output, select File from the menu and choose Print or Proof Print. .

Proof Print generates output directly from the Designer, without using the Print Service. A Proof Print run won't impact upon production printing

  • File > Proof Print... allows either the default output settings; the last used output settings or previously saved output Presets.
    For more information on this option see Print Using Standard Print Output Settings. for more details.

Saving Printing options in Print Presets

Selecting File > Print Presets allows you to create or modify printing Presets (which contain all the printing options), which can be saved for re-use in later print runs. This can be particularly handy when creating special print runs, that need to be run periodically.

These presets make it possible to do such things as filtering and sorting records, grouping documents and splitting the print jobs into smaller print jobs, as well as the more standard selection of printing options, such as binding, OMR markings and the like.

See Job Creation Presets and Output Creation Settings for more details.

Connect Printing options that cannot be changed from within the Printer Wizard

There are a number of settings for the Print context and Print sections that have an impact on how Print sections are printed, which cannot be influenced through either a Job Creation Preset or an Output Creation Preset.

These settings are:
