Print using standard print output settings

When using either the File > Print... or the File > Proof Print... option, the Print dialog appears. This dialog allows you to print the template using Default printer settings, or the Last Used printer settings, or selected Job and Output Presets (either new, or previously saved).

To learn how to create Presets please see Job Presets and Output Presets.

Dialog Interface

  • Job Preset: Leave the selection at the Default or use the drop-down to create a new or select an existing Job Preset.
    Use the Browse button to open an existing Preset file, or use the Edit button to edit the currently selected Preset file.
  • Output Creation: Leave the selection at the Default or use the drop-down to create a new or select an existing Output Preset.
    Use the Browse button to open an existing Preset file, or use the Edit button to edit the currently selected Preset file.
  • Summary: Displays a summary of the settings for the currently selected printing options.

    Note: The Default output type (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 specify 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.

  • Copies Group :

    • Copies: Enter the number of output copies you want.

    • Collate: When printing multiple copies you can check this checkbox to have the record copies printed together.
      For example in a three record job the records would print out as 1-1-2-2-3-3, rather than 1-2-3-1-2-3.

Wizard navigation buttons

  • Advanced button: Click to open the Print using Advanced Printer Wizard where you can manually change the printing options.

    Note: Any settings made within the Advanced Print Wizard do not permanently update any Preset(s) being used.

  • Print button: Click to produce print output according to the current settings.
  • Cancel button: Cancels the Print Wizard, without creating any printout.
