UT-G  Enter Graphical Print Settings (DBA Classic Only)

Purpose of Program

This program is used to set defaults for any of the graphical printing formats for forms, checks, and labels.  The following defaults can be set for each print format: printer, page size, top margin, left margin, and number of copies.

Graphical print formats for various forms, labels, and checks can be selected via the following programs: SD-M  Sales Orders Defaults, AD-B  Checking Accounts Defaults, AR-S  Accounts Receivable Defaults, SD-C  Purchase Orders Defaults, SD-G  Estimating Defaults.

General Program Operation

When you first go into this program, if the Utilities menu is covering a portion of the entry screen, click on any portion of the gray background and the menu will close and the entry screen will be fully displayed.

When you select a graphical print format from in any of the programs listed in Purpose of Program above, you will notice a format file name (with an extension of *.RTM) in parenthesis to the right of the format description.   To change the settings for a particular format in UT-G, you must first open it by clicking on the Find Report button.  All the *.RTM print formats are displayed in a window.  Highlight the format you want to change by clicking on it, then click on the Open button.  The current settings will be displayed.

Once the format's settings are displayed, you can change them.  Click on the Set Printer button if you want the form to print to another printer than your default printer. Page Size, Top Margin, and Left Margin are expressed in decimal inches.  By changing these settings you can precisely control print alignment for each particular format.  Set Number of Copies as desired.  When finished, click on the Save Report button.

Be aware that these settings are universal settings that are not user-specific.  If two or more users will be printing the same format each to his own printer, leave the Set Printer setting set to the default printer so that it will print to each person's default printer, rather than designate a specific printer.
