Before printing from the LM41 LinkView, it is advisable to first select the Print Setup command to correctly configure the output and the destination printer. The LM41 Linkview produces a predefined Test Report for each record selected. The test report can be individually customised with a company logo and relevant test details. The Print Preview command can give a representative view of the output before printing. See the sections on Print Setup and Preview later on in this document.
When you are satisfied with the format and destination of the output, select the Print command to send the job to the nominated printer. The toolbar button can also be used to send the job to the printer.
