Print Output Options Logical Printer

Click on the Function Definition Properties icon and click on the Spooler tab and select Output Type Logical Printer.

This sets the report output to go to one of the ten logical printers that can be set up in a PROIV environment. These can map to physical printers through the server or the client, as described in the PROIV manual.

The Fields in this Window:

Printer - Choose LP0 – LP9 from the list. These are the PROIV logical printers which can be mapped to server printers, client printers, physical files, etc.

Suppress Fields - Check to only output headers, not the data fields.
