Printer setting for selected report

By clicking the button XD_BtnSettings, it is possible to set printer and appropriate paper size to selected report. This setting is tied to "Computer name", "Report name" and/or "User name". It means that every CutLogic workstation on the network enables (if it is necessary) to print current report on different printer, without changing printing options (avoiding frequent changing of printer).

XD_MsgTip

Tip: Setting printer to each computer and user individually can be very useful feature when multiple CutLogic workstations share CutLogic database over network, especially on thin client architecture networks such as Citrix and Terminal Services.

XD_MsgImportant

Important: Assigning printer to each user individually is possible only when CutLogic is switched to network database mode.

Options

XD_ReportsOptions

Date

Some reports can be filtered by creation or manufacture date. You can set range of date (Date From - Date To) you want to print.

XD_MsgTip

Tip: If you want to build your own reports using SQL (Structured Query Language), you can apply date parameters as "DateFr" (Date From) and "DateTo" (Date To) in your scripts.

Label copies (0 for data value)

Here you can set number of copies of printed labels. By default (if set to 0), program prints for each label as many copies as defined in quantity field (Qty) of printed dataset. If you set custom copies number (1-500), each label is printed that value times.

Start printing first label on position

Here you can set start position (1-200) from which you want to print first label of the current labels dataset. The order of printed labels is "Top to Bottom" and "Left to Right", as you can see in the following layout.
