PRINT TEMPLATES
The Print Template feature allows for more flexible and customizable output of specific print jobs. Print Templates also provide enhanced support for printing diacritics and an option to save your print job to disk in PDF format.

With the appropriate editing software (e.g., iReport), you can specify the data that appears on these forms as well as control font selection, layout, and incorporation of graphic /images into these forms, which can be printed to a printer or exported to disk.

The Print Template tab contains different output options depending on the module. This example is from Millennium Acquisitions:

Currently, Millennium supports Print Templates for the following output types:

Output Types Vary by Module

Only the types of templates that are appropriate to the module will display in the Print templates tab when accessed for that login:

Enabling Print Templates

The first step is to enable Print Templates in D > Database maintenance options in the character-based system:

40 > Enable Print Templates...................................YES

After enabling in the system option mentioned above, Print Templates can be implemented on a login by login, output by output basis. For example, one user may check the "Use Print Templates" box for output type "Spine labels" only. Print Template administration is managed very much like it is for Record Templates. The template concept allows the library to give users printing choices that are appropriate for their work.
