User Print Settings

Use this routine to edit the default printer output settings for the log-on user. The default settings derive from the Output tab in the user's Create a User record. This screen appears when the user checks the Update Print Settings box on the User Log In Screen. The ability of the user to edit this screen depends on the access options established in Create a User:

If all of these are true, the user can also access this screen by clicking on the Refresh button on the STORIS Main Screen.

If you have Regional Processing active and your printer is set to Local PC Settings (via the Document Destination field), you cannot run the EOM process.

The default print destination (specified on the Output tab of the User file) displays for the log-on user. Use this field to override the default for the current session.

Storis Form Settings
Local PC Settings
Not Printing

For users printing to the Local PC Settings option:

- printing is not available from the End-of-Day and End-of-Month processes if Regional Processing is active on your system.

- the Printer option is not available when printing STORIS reports via the Output Settings screen. To print a report, send it to one of the available output options (for example, the Screen option) and print the report from the program that displays the report.

The default response at this field is drawn from the Default Hold Queue field in Create a User. To send all print jobs to a hold file you can access later via the Review Print Jobs routine on the Printing menu, select Create Hold Files here. Otherwise, click on No Hold Files Created. If you set this field to Create Hold Files, and set the Suppress Status field to Do Not Suppress Output, the system sends print jobs to the printer and also to the print queue for re-printing later.

The default response at this field is drawn from the Default Suppress Queue field in Create a User. To prevent print jobs from reaching the printer, click on Suppress Output. Otherwise, leave the field blank. If you set this field to Suppress Output and the Printer Hold Status field to Create Hold Files, print jobs do not reach the printer, but are sent to the Hold file (print queue) for later printing. You can access the Hold file via the Review Print Jobs routine on the Printing menu. Note that if you set this field to Suppress and the Hold Status field to “No", print jobs do not print and are not sent to a hold file.

To save your changes and proceed to the Main Menu, click on Save. To abandon the log-on process, click on Exit.
