Selecting a Printer for Reports

When your print destination is Printer, Sage 300 ERP prints reports to the Windows default printer, unless you have assigned a specific printer to a report.

The ability to assign different printers to different reports at print time means that you are not limited to printing to the default printer. For example, you can use a different printer to print item labels than you use to print inventory worksheets.

To assign a specific report to a specific printer:

  1. Open the report screen that you want to assign to a printer.
  2. On the report screen, click File > Print Setup.

    The program displays the Windows default printer, but you can change the printer for a specific report.

  3. Select the Specific Printer option, and then select from the list the printer to use for this report.

    The printer list includes all printers that have been added to the Printers and Faxes list in Windows.

  4. Select a paper source if you want to use a particular paper tray or paper stock for this report.
  5. Click OK to close the Print Setup screen.

To clear the assigned printer for a specific report:

  1. On the Sage 300 ERP desktop, select (highlight) the icon for the report.
  2. On the Desktop Object menu, click Restore Defaults, or right-click the report icon, and then click Restore Defaults on the list that appears.
  3. In the Restore Defaults dialog box, select the Print Settings option, then click OK.

    The print setup for that report is reverted to the desktop default.

To have the program prompt you to specify a printer and print options each time you print:

On the Sage 300 ERP Desktop View menu, click Preferences > Confirm On Print.
