Rave Reports Visual Designer

Sending to the Printer

Printing can be done via the Preview screen or directly when executing the Report and choosing Printer as the Report Destination. The Output Options dialogs are a little different when selected from the Rave Designer and from the Print Preview.

The Output Options dialog that appears from the Rave Designer has more options than just printing, as shown in the image. In the Output Options Dialog there is a Setup option for Printing. The Setup button is underneath the Cancel button and can be used to adjust the printer settings prior to the actual printing. This includes options such as whether the report should be printed in landscape or portrait, the resolution of the printer, the color depth, paper size, etc.

The dialog box also includes several Options such as the number of copies to be printed, whether the copies should be collated, or duplex printed. In the Output Options Dialog from the Report Preview (see image), there are some different options available. The Print Range has three different options. The All option means to print all pages in the report. The Selection option means to print a selection of pages not adjacent to each other, i.e. "1,3,5,7" or "1,9-5,20". The Pages option prints a range of consecutive pages, i.e. "1-10" or "15-19".
