When printing a document type (for example, sales order) in Forms Designer for the first time, a prompt appears in which you must establish your printer settings for the selected document type. For each document type you print from STORIS (for example, sales order, completed order, or service order), you must select a print form option. You specify your print form preferences on the Printed Documents tab of the various control settings routines (for example, Point of Sale Control Settings or Service Control Settings). For each document type, you must specify one of the following print form options:
Standard Print - print the selected document on a universal form with pre-printed lines and boxes to separate the information.
Laser Print - print the selected document on a Laser printer. The layout for a Laser printed form is almost identical to the layout of the Form option. The same data prints on both. However, for Laser Print forms, you can print to a laser printer without having to load pre-printed forms in the printer. The Laser Print software provided by STORIS prints the background data (company info, etc.) for you. In this way, you can save the expense of purchasing pre-printed forms.
Forms Designer - print the selected document to the Forms Designer. Documents print on a laser printer. You can use the standard Forms Designer forms or create your own.
When printing a document type (for example, sales order) in Forms Designer for the first time, a prompt appears in which you must establish your printer settings for the selected document type.
Once you select a print form option, STORIS uses that print form option for all form types associated with the document type. For example, in the Point of Sale Control Settings, at the Sales Order field in the Document Type section of the Printed Documents tab, if you select Forms Designer, then STORIS uses the Forms Designer to print all document types associated with the Sales Order form type (for example, sales orders, sales quotes, quick sales, etc) and prevents you from printing those form types via Standard Print or Laser Print.
