Any document, when printed to a printer, will print on your Operating System’s default printer. You may set any other printer as the default printer in the Setup→Preferences→Printer menu option to Print the documents, reports and lists directly to that Printer. This default printer should be the printer on which you wish to print most of your documents, reports and lists.

- If you wish to print a document on another printer, rather than the default printer, you may select another printer on the Printer Setup button of the document options screen.

This option allows you to select any other available printer on your system to print documents, reports or lists. Your system may have one or more of the following types of Printers configured:

• Dot-matrix
• Inkjets
• Laser

When selecting a printer, it is useful to bear some features in mind:

• Dot-matrix Printers - Dot-matrix Printers can print in two basic types of fonts (i.e. Fixed Length Font and Proportional Fonts).
  • Fixed Length Fonts - These fonts, basically require no setup and prints faster than the Proportional Fonts. Fixed Length Fonts, also prints small fonts to fit into the various fields.
  • Proportional Fonts - These fonts, on the other hand, may be larger and look better than the Fixed Length Fonts, but usually prints slower. It also requires setting up of the pages and paper size on Windows.
• Inkjets and Laser Printers - These printers print faster and have better quality than dot-matrix printers. They basically require no setup. Consider durability of print when printing to inkjet printers. A water-logged report may become unreadable when printed to an inkjet printer.

- To print multiple copies, you need to set the number of copies to more than one copy. On the other hand, dot-matrix printers may print more than one copy at the same time, provided that you use the special carbonised paper.
