Print Using Standard Print Output Settings

When using the File > Print... option, the Print Configuration dialog appears. This dialog allows you to print the template using Default printer settings, or the Last Used printer settings or by using previously created Printing Presets.
To learn how to create Printing Presets please see Job Creation Presets and Output Creation Presets.

      Use the Gear button to edit the currently selected Preset or to reload the list of Presets from the system.
    • Job Creation: Use the drop-down to select existing Job Creation Presets.
      Use the Gear button to edit the currently selected Preset or to reload the list of Presets from the system.
    • Preset Summary: Displays a summary of the settings for the currently selected Presets.
      The Default output type of PDF Output is actually a built in system Preset, whilst the Last Used settings can likewise be considered an un-named and un-saved Preset.


  • Records Group:
    • All: Outputs all records in the active dataset.
    • Selection: Allows selection of a range of records or a custom selection.
      You can specific individual records separated by semi-colons (;) or ranges using dashes.
      For example: 2;4;6-10 would print pages 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10.
