Print Settings
Within the Print Settings, you can establish your printing preferences such as Paper Size, default text size, and whether you prefer output as PDF or HTML, among other options.
As BizCentric operates as a browser-based application, the printing command is performed by the specific browser being utilized.
To edit Print Settings, go to: > Home > Settings > Print Settings
There are various configurations available in the Print Settings. Let’s learn about them.
1. PDF Settings
1.1 PDF or HTML
When you email any document (such as a Sales Order or Invoice) from BizCentric, it is transmitted in either PDF or HTML format. By default, the file is sent as a PDF. If you prefer to send the document in HTML format, simply deselect the “Send Print as PDF” option.
1.2 Repeat Header and Footer in PDF
The letterhead serves as a template where you can specify the standard Header and Footer to be included in the document’s Print Format. Enabling this property results in the Header and Footer being added to every page. If you prefer not to have the Header and Footer repeated on each page, simply deactivate this setting.
1.3 PDF Page Size
The default size for printing PDF pages is A4, and you can choose any size from the options defined here, including custom dimensions defined in millimeters.
2. Page Settings
2.1 Print with Letterhead
Activating this feature will automatically select the Letter Head option when printing a document. However, please note that in order for it to appear in the print view, you must either set Letter Head as default or manually select one in the transaction.
2.2 Compact Item Print
Transactions like sales orders/invoices have a table detailing items bought or sold. It has multiple columns like Item Name, Description, UoM, Rate Amount, etc. If there are many columns in the Item table, then Print Format looks bit cluttered. You can improve the view of the table by enabling Compact Item Print.
As per this setting, there will be only four columns in the Print Format, namely: Description, Qty, Rate, and Amount.
The values of other columns (like name, description, image, serial nos. etc.) are concatenated in the Description column.
2.3 Allow Print for Draft
Documents, primarily transactions, undergo two stages of authentication: Save and Submit. Saved documents represent the initial draft and are not yet submitted to the system. Therefore, printing is restricted for documents at this stage. However, if you wish to grant users permission to print documents in the Draft stage as well, you can enable the checkbox.
2.4 Always add “Draft” Heading for printing draft documents
Enabling this setting also print “Draft” in the Print Format, thus indicating that document shared is not completely authenticated yet.
2.5 Allow Page Break Inside Table
Enabling this setting will automatically introduce a page break if an item’s description exceeds the typical space allotted on a page. Consequently, the item’s details will be split, with the Item Description placed on a separate page while the remaining details are shifted to the subsequent page.
2.6 Allow Print for Canceled
Canceled transactions are those that do not affect the reports. If you want to permit printing for canceled transactions, you can activate this setting. It’s important to note that a transaction can only be canceled after it has been submitted.
2.7 Print Taxes with Zero Amount
In sales and purchase transactions, you have the option to apply multiple taxes to items. By default, in the print format, only taxes with calculated amounts are displayed. If you want to include taxes that were not applied and have a zero-tax amount in the printout, you can activate this setting.
3. Raw Printing
You can enable raw printing and print to many supported thermal printers. Read Raw Printing to know more.
