Resolution

Use the drop-down list to select the printer resolution you want to use. Resolution is expressed in terms of dots per inch (dpi). Generally, the more dots, the sharper the print. However, the default resolution is acceptable for most purposes. The selections in this drop-down list depend on the Printer selected.

Scale

Use the drop-down list to adjust the scale of your report, making it larger or smaller.

Costpoint reports are designed and implemented to have precise page layout and margins. The ideal print out is achieved when the report data is printed without scaling.

For best printing results, it is very important not to scale the report content to page.

Depending on your version of Adobe or Acrobat Reader, you need to set one of the following print options:

  • Page scaling = None
  • Page Sizing & Handling = Actual Size
