Assign a specific printer to any report
More ways ACCTivate! makes things easier

Do all of your reports print from the same default printer, but you need to print certain ones to another printer?

Of course, ACCTivate! has a solution that makes this possible. There's no need to walk a pick ticket or other report out to the warehouse, when there's already a printer out there; or change the default printer each time you print certain reports.

So, save time and get the report immediately to the right people by printing directly to the printer of your choice.

Beyond the basic printer setup option in the file menu is the printer assignment
option in the Configuration Manager.

This configuration option allows you to assign any available report that is printed from
a specified ACCTivate! workstation to print to any printer on your company's network.

In configuration, you can specify the workstation where the report will print. Do this by selecting the report
and browse for the printer. You can also enter an asterisk (*) to have the report print from the default printer.

Now, every time you print that report from the specified workstation it will be sent to the selected printer.

When you select a report that has been assigned a printer and then click the Print button directly from the
Report Selection Criteria window, that report will automatically and immediately print to the specified printer.

However, if you print from a report preview, the Printer Setup dialog box will open set to the specified printer.
You can select another printer at that time, but the printer assignment configuration settings will not be
permanently affected.
