The print properties set here affect all users. Some settings can be overridden by the user at run time.

Printing Properties

Maximum Printed Columns

When printing a format, you can limit the number of characters or columns a user can print on one line.

For example, if you set a limit at 120 columns or characters, any report the user printed would only print 120 characters on each line. Any remaining characters beyond the set limit would not get printed.

The values used for Landscape and Portrait printing do not have to be the same, and are set separately.

Fit to Page

Specifies that the Fit to Page option is on by default

This option can temporarily be set on or off by the user at print time with the print dialog. However, the option will always be set to this default when the user first logs into CA OM Web Viewer.

Default Point Size

Controls the default point size option on the print dialog

Point size controls the size of the font in the printed document. This option can temporarily be changed by the user at print time at the print dialog. However, this option will always be set to this default when the user logs into Web Viewer.

Follow these steps to set or update printing properties:

1. From the Administration tab, click the Preferences Tab:
2. Click the Output Defaults link.
3. Do one of the following In Landscape, Don't Print After Column option to set or remove the column limit:
   • To set a limit
     1. Click the checkbox to enable the text box.
     2. Enter a value or use the up or down arrows to set the limit for the user's column print value.
   • To remove the limit, uncheck the checkbox.
4. Check or uncheck the Fit to Page option.

   Notes:

   • By default the print dialog will show Fit to page as checked if you check this checkbox.
   • If you uncheck this option, the print dialog will show the Fit to Page option as unchecked by default.
   • The user can change this option when they open the print dialog, but every time they log into CA OM Web Viewer, the option will be set back to this default.
5. Set or adjust the Default Point Size.

   A user may have to log off and back onto the system before the new default becomes effective.

6. Click Update at the top right of the pane.

   The Printing Properties are updated.
