Print using standard print output settings

When using either the File > Print... or the File > Proof 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.

  • Configuration Selection Group:

    • Output Creation: Leave the selection at the Default or use the drop-down to select an existing Output Creation Preset.
      Use the Gear button to edit the currently selected Preset or to reload the list of Presets from the system.
    • Job Creation: Leave the selection at the Default or use the drop-down to select an existing Job Creation Preset.
      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 (Default or created).

      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.

    • Apply filtering and sorting to record selection checkbox: Check o filter and/or sort records. Selecting this will open both the Data filtering options and Sorting options pages.

  • 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.

  • Cancel button: Cancels the Print Wizard, without creating any printout.
