File Menu
The File menu can be used to print the contents of the current client window, preview the current client window, update the staff client, and end the client session. The following options are available.
Print
Click Print to print the current wizard window. Print templates are defined for some wizard windows. The print output will include the window title, the date the print job was generated, and the wizard window data. For some wizards, the print output will include data from multiple wizard tabs. The standard Windows Print window displays for you to modify as needed before printing the wizard window. If the current wizard window does not have a defined print template, the Print command will be unavailable. Use the Print Screen command instead. For a list of wizards that have defined print templates, see the Print Wizard topic.
You also have the option of adding the Print wizard (which functions the same as the Print command) to a toolbar.
The Print wizard must be included in the User Access List of your login for you to access either the Print command from the File menu or the Print wizard.
In cataloging wizards, the format for printing the current record is controlled by the Display Bibliographic Description helper properties and selecting File/Print Preview. For example, if you want the entry labels to print for a bibliographic record, be sure to select Display Descriptive Labels in this helper. Likewise, if you want the tag numbers to print, select Display Numeric Tags in this helper.
It is also possible to print glossaries in the Display Bibliographic Description helper.
On a Windows desktop, it is possible to screen print by pressing SHIFT+PRINT SCREEN, and pasting the image to a third-party application.
Print Preview
The Print Preview command only works with wizards/windows that have a defined print template. Click Print Preview to display the wizard data in a preview window. If you click the Print helper, the standard Windows Print window displays for you to modify as needed before printing the wizard window. If you click the Close helper, the preview window closes and the print function is not completed.
The Print Preview command is not available when using Print Screen.
The Print wizard must be included in the User Access List of your login for you to access the Print Preview command from the File menu.
Print Screen
The Print Screen option allows you to print the contents of the current wizard window. Click Print Screen, and the contents of the current wizard window are exported to the application specified in Print Setup for printing and modification (if the selected application is capable of editing an HTML file). If an application is not specified, the default Internet browser for the workstation will be used.
For information on specifying the maximum number of item search results to display for printing, see Maximum Displayed Results.
