Printing Reports

There are numerous reports that can be printed for your collections. Reports are accessed from the data input form that is open.

When you select certain reports to open, an optional report title data field opens to allow you to add any additional text you want to appear at the top of the report. Typical uses for this ‘Addtional Report Title’ would be to add the filter specifics, if it is a filtered report, or add your name to the top of the report. Example: if you open a filtered report you can enter "Elgin 18S, 21J Pocket Watches" as the additional report title. You should experiment with and without text in this field to get a feel for what you can do.

Once you open a report to print you can select ‘Printer Setup’ to get a pop-up form that allows you to select which printer (default or specific) to use. All reports are formated with the possible exception for margins on your default printer. You do not need to change the orientation of any report even though you have that option. Typically you should be able to just use the ‘Default Printer’ for printing your reports. If you need more information on setting up printers, see you computer or printer software documentation.

NOTE: if you try to print a report that has no data, you will see "ERROR" on the report. Close the report and add data to the input form, or save the record you were working on before printing the report.
