Modifying Reports to Print on Line Printers

You can print reports to a line printer. Before modifying reports to print on line printers, ensure that you perform one of these steps:

  • Create a batch version of a report that will be sent only to line printers.

    Do not make the modifications in the report template because then the report data might not display properly on other printer platforms.

  • Check out an existing batch version for modifying to print on line printers.

Select a batch version that is checked out and launch JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Report Design Aid.
