Printing

You may print from any view in the handheld application that has been configured to support printing. When you print from the handheld, a document that has been configured for the view is printed. You can print directly to a printer, or, if you are not connected to a printer at the time, you can queue your print jobs and wait until you have access to a printer to print your documents.

NOTE:  When you print from a view, you are not necessarily printing what is visible on the screen at the time. Every field on the screen may not be relevant for the document. The document may contain only a portion of what is in the view, and it may also contain data that is not viewable at the time. A separate applet, which often cannot be viewed in the user interface, is configured specifically for printing.

The print templates used to generate the printed documents are downloaded to the handheld during the synchronization process. After you have synchronized your handheld with the server or a desktop computer, you are ready to print.

For a list of supported printers, see the system requirements and supported platforms documentation for your application.

Printing From the Handheld Device

Your handheld device is configured for a particular printer by the Siebel administrator. You may print directly to this printer, or, if your handheld is not connected to a printer, the print job is sent to a print queue. Print jobs may be queued until you have access to a printer, at which time you may print all of the jobs in the queue.

Print from the Siebel Handheld application by choosing File > Print. If you are connected to a printer, the print job will run. If you are not connected to a printer, the print job is sent to a print queue. View the print queue by choosing File > Print Queue.
