Print Reports Preferences

Use the Print Reports preferences page to set defaults for printing reports and documents at the user level.

Notes:

This page is only displayed if the Use PDF for printing reports check box on the General preferences page is cleared.
If the Use PDF for printing reports check box is selected, the Print Reports (PDF) option is displayed instead.

The following preferences are available:

Orientation: Determine whether to print reports in either Portrait or Landscape format.

Paper size: Select the paper size on which to print a report.

Header and Footer: Specify the page header and footer to be displayed on all reports. Click Edit Custom Settings to open the Header/Footer Editor. Specify the text to print in the left, center, and right portions of the page's header and footer. Enter static text, or use the Insert Auto-text drop-down list at the top of the page to select and insert auto-text.

Scaling: Adjust the amount of the report's content (and thus, the size of the font) that prints on a page using the following scaling options:

Adjust font to __% of original size: Specify the font size of text displayed on the report as a percentage of its original size.
Fit to page: Select All rows to fit all rows to the page dimensions. Select All columns to fit all columns to the page dimensions.

Margins (Inches): Set the left, right, top, and bottom margins. For reports to print according to these settings, these margin settings and the margin settings in the browser's File > Page Setup option must match.

Maximum header size (Inches): Set the size at which the report header can be overwritten. If the header is larger than its maximum size and the report must use the space to display its content, the header is cut off by the report content. If the report does not use the space, the entire header is displayed, regardless of size.

Maximum footer size (Inches): Set the size at which the report footer can be overwritten. If the footer is larger than its maximum size and the report must use the space to display its content, the footer is cut off by the report content. If the report does not use the space, the entire footer is displayed, regardless of size.

Disable DHTML Printing - Select the check box to turn off DHTML printing. Some options in the Print Reports preferences page are only available if the Disable DHTML Printing check box is cleared.

Show pop-up print dialog - Select this option to ensure that your browser's File > Print dialog box is displayed when you show the printable version of a report.

Print cover page with Filter Details: Print the filter details of the report on a separate page. The filter details are placed before the contents of the report.

Print the grid and the graph on the same page: Determine whether the grid and the graph are printed on the same page when printing a report displayed in Grid and Graph view. If you clear the check box, the grid and graph print on separate pages.

Expand all page-by fields when printing: Print all combinations of items in the page-by axis when printing a report that has one or more items in the page-by axis. To print only the items currently displayed in the page-by fields, clear this check box.

Show options when printing: Determine whether you are prompted to select print options every time you print.

Click Apply to save changes.

Note: Clicking Load Default Values will reset all preference settings to default values.
