Printing Your Report
When you have completed your report design and checked it by performing a print preview, you can then print directly from the Report Writer Designer window.
To print the current report, perform one of the following actions
-
Select the Print command from the File menu
-
Press Ctrl+P
-
Click the Print toolbar button
Selecting the Print command from the File menu (or by pressing Ctrl+P) opens the Print Setup dialog, to enable you to check your printer setting before you begin printing. Click the OK button after you have verified the printer settings to begin printing.
Clicking the Print toolbar button immediately begins printing.
The current report is then printed to the current (default) printer.
A progress dialog is displayed while printing. Click the Stop button to stop the printing and retain the printed output produced up to this point. Click the Cancel button to stop the printing and discard the printed output that is produced.
For details about directing print output to an alternative printer or paper size, see "Using the Print Setup Command", later in this chapter. For details about using the print preview facility, see "Previewing Print Output", earlier in this chapter.
