Overview

Initially, the standard reports that are provided with the Stone Edge Order Manager will print on the default printer of the current (local) workstation. If the program is being used on a LAN, it might be preferable to have all reports of a specific type print on the same shared printer rather than at each workstation. For example, if a special form is being used to print Invoices or Packing slips, it is would be simplest to have that special form placed in a specific tray of a single printer that can be accessed by all workstations in the LAN.
