Selecting a Print Destination

You can print reports to a printer, to the screen, to a file, or as an attachment to an e-mail message.

Note: If you are not assigned to a security group that has authorization to change the print destination, the only destination available is a physical printer.

To select a print destination:

1. On the Sage 300 Desktop, click Print Destination.

2. Select a print destination:

   • Printer. Print to a physical printer. More...

     Note: If you have multiple printers, you can specify the one to use when you print. For more information, see Selecting a Printer for Reports.

     Tip: If you want to confirm the destination printer, page size, and orientation each time you print a report, on the Desktop, click View > Print Preferences, and then select Confirm on print.

   • Preview. Display reports in a preview screen. More...

     Note: From the preview screen, you can do things such as saving the report to a file, or printing the report to a physical printer.

   • File. Print to a file. More...

     When you print, you specify details about the file to create, including:

     • Format (for example, PDF, DOC, or XLS).
     • Destination.
     • Name.
     • Location.
   • E-mail. Print reports as attachments to e-mail messages. More...

     You specify the type of file to create:

     • Adobe Acrobat (PDF). You can open PDF files with Adobe Acrobat Reader (available as a free download from the Adobe Software website).
     • Rich Text Format (RTF). You can open RTF files with most Windows and Linux word processing programs.

     When you print a report, Sage 300 creates a PDF or RTF version of the report and attaches the report file to a new e-mail message.

3. Click OK.
